Online Restore

[Eldingo]

Hello All:

We have one Exchange Server 2003 server, and I need to restore some deleted
email for one of the users from the tape backups. What is the best way to do
it, without shutting down the mail server.

ciao

Easy peasy. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824126 and
http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Exchange_Server_2003_Mailbox_Recovery.html
for starters.

Actually, scratch that. For starters, you should *first* check to see
whether the items are recoverable from Deleted Items recovery ...if they
were deleted within the timeframe allowed for deleted item retention. See
http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Recovering-Deleted-Items-Exchange-Server-2003-Part1.html
... you will probably want to set the DumpsterAlwaysOn in the registry as
per that article.

If this doesn't work, then it's time for a recovery storage group.

You're welcome. Deleted Item retention can save your ____.

International Bacon Day was Saturday. I forgot to send out cards.

I was wondering why I haven't heard from you.
