I've actually not done a RSG type restore (thank goodness), but my understanding is that it's for complete disaster recovery only. What we do here for those ID10T errors is keep a virtual server running that we can restore an entire message store to and then play the export to pst and import to live mailbox game. For us brick level backups are not feasable, there simply is not enough hours in the day. I'd like to hear how others that are serving several thousands of users are handling this. Would you be willing to share your DR documentation with us?

What about if a user comes in 3 weeks asking for mail he has shift+delete by mistake. Can we do single email recovery in this method? _____ From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Martin Blackstone Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 4:48 AM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ExchangeList] Re: Veritas Errors with Exchange 2003 This is an easy one. Stop backing up mailboxes. You just need to backup the mailbox stores (public and private). Then read up on Recovery Storage Groups. http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Exchange-Dial-tone-Restore-Method-Pa rt1.html _____ From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Technical Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 4:31 AM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ExchangeList] Veritas Errors with Exchange 2003 Hi All I have inherited a SBS 2003 server running veritas Backup Exec 9.1 The veritas software backs up some but not all of the contents of the users mail boxes. Access is denied to calendar items and also random messages in the In Box and Sent Items. Veritas is running with the correct admin rights and can access the mail boxes and back up most but not all items. Any thoughts appreciated. Frustrated Admin
