Probably not under the current setup.

This could be due to space on your drive. Read this article ( applies to all
versions of Entourage not just Entourage X):

Rebuilding a damaged database that exceeded size limit

<http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/2007/09/rebuilding_a_damaged_database_that_e
xceeded_size_limit.html>

I've had good success in recovery for Entourage databases. When I hit a wall
with corruption, I backup and try a different approach. Eventually I get it
all. I would say it takes an average of 8 hrs to recover and verify a
database. You might have seen a stress test I mentioned just recently. I do
this for each database I recover.

1.  Use the Entourage Database Utility to verify
2.  On a copy, I run rebuild on the Identity to verify
3.  Test by exporting all items as Entourage archive (.rge) file and import
that file into a new Identity.
4.  Use the MBOX script to export all folders.

If a database passes all these tests I know it's good.
