Damn... you're right.

That way you are not changing database and your RSG functionality would be unaffected surely? Regards, Paul Lemonidis. From: Maglinger, Paul <mailto:PMAGLINGER@xxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 8:07 PM To: Exchangelist (Freelist) <mailto:exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ExchangeList] Question regarding Recovery Storage Group and Exmerge Running Exchange 2003 and am wanting to pull out some old emails from tape backup. I understand that I can restore to the Recovery Storage Group and use Exmerge to extract the desired emails to a pst provided that the account exists in AD and the mailbox resides in the same database when the tape was created. We are looking to move our information store from a disk array connected to an internal SCSI controller to another group of disks connected to another newer controller. After I create an information store on the new disks and move the mailboxes there, if a need arose where I needed to pull out emails from those accounts, would it be a simple matter of just moving the mailboxes back to the original store? If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. - Doug Larson ________________________________ Paul Maglinger, A+, CA, CCA, CET, MCSE Systems Administrator Shoe Carnival Inc.
