Actually we use Method 3 here on a semi-regular basis. Most of the time
it's a user that has some power and they, for whatever reason, want to
go back a year or more and search for some emails. Another reason is
going to be litigation, if you have a good archive solution in place
this is a moot point. But the last litigation we had we didn't have an
archive solution in place, so we restored, search, restored next monthly
and searched again and so forth.
The final reason is going to be testing, I don't care about actually
getting data back, I just want a testing environment that is identical
to our production. It may be for simply testing a patch or practicing a
full blown upgrade, either one I want to be able to easily go back to
our current environment multiple times to test/practice.
Just my thoughts,

So...given that Russ is right - how is it not practical? I've
implemented Exchange more than a few times, and managing deleted item
retention effectively is always, ALWAYS better than doing a restore.
I'm a bit surprised you'd give such a response, Raj -from what I've
seen you often have pretty well thought out input. If that's your only
complaint about it, that seems a bit disingenuous to me.
Anyway, perhaps its personal preference - personally I advocate avoiding
restores whenever possible except in the case of disaster. Back to the
original topic: what are you asking exactly, and then maybe we can
provide a more meaningful answer.

That is incorrect, you can recover from shift deletes if you have the
dumpsteralwayson registry hack enabled.

I don't think the Ed Crowley Never Restore method is really useful in
practical world. because, 90% of all restore requests are shift deletes.
Shift delete does not send the deleted item to dumpster. Its gone for
good immediately.
HTH.

I'm not clear on exactly what you are asking - is the question whether
or not his is viable? Absolutely. Is it optimal? No, that's why
Microsoft introduced the recovery storage group.
But a better solution is the Ed Crowley Never Restore Method (tm)
While it was originally designed around Exchange 5.5, the principles
remain valid through E2K7.

Sorry Guys...Am posting this question again...
While surfing the net i got this info from one of the Microsoft site
which states that the exchange database can be restored in the different
exchange server with same Org name and Structure in different forest.
Here is the site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823176 (have a glimpse at Method 3)
Is it possible to restore an Exchange database from a backup in a
different Exchange recovery server (with same organization name,
administrative group & Storage group name) in a different Forest?
Plz give your suggestions... and also let me know if any one of you have
tried this and got succeeded....
Regards, Maha
