Could it be something as simple as a view set on the user's inbox?

Strangely enough, it only affected messages that existed at the root of the Inbox, not any of the messages in any of the manually created folders in Outlook. The only reason I thought it might be related to the backup is because as soon as the Incremental backup was done, the user I was referring to popped her head in my office to say all of her email "disappeared". It just seemed like too much of a coincidence. PLUS, I don't have any mailbox manager rules set up on the server to clear anything out. Well, thanks for your thoughts anyway! :-) ________________________________ From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carl Houseman Sent: Thursday, June 22, 2006 5:05 PM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ExchangeList] Re: Backup Related Question It doesn't matter what I was speaking of. It matters what the OP was talking about. He said "user's inbox" and I was addressing that without any special interpretation.

I think exchange will purge it! cheers, Mathieu CHATEAU Thursday, June 22, 2006, 9:57:38 PM, you wrote: > Any Exchange-aware backup is designed to run safely without needing to shutdown the store or force users off the system, regardless of the type of backup being done. So unless there is some other problem going on, there should be a 0.00000% chance of "users inbox being wiped out" due to running a backup.

Let's say you do Incremental backups at few points during the day of the Exchange database. Now we know that the Incremental backups commit and flush the log files. Is there a possibility of a users inbox being wiped out as a result of that backup being done?? Any input here is appreciated!! :-) Thanks!!
