Hi, I recently had a similar problem. where on a restore the database kept saying that it was inconsistent. the things to try are as follows. 1. if you are using microsoft backup make sure that you have checked the last back set. 2. if this does not work, Microsoft advised me to do the following delete or rename the following folders and try restoring the database again. MDBDATA in the c:\program files\exchsrvr and the log files directory. the second option work! Hope this Helps Simon Whale -----Original Message----- From: Achmad Mursalin [mailto:ach_m@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, November 03, 2002 08:01 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] file priv1.edb&pri1.stm http://www.MSExchange.org/ Halo :exchange crash I cannot restore file priv1.edb&priv1.stm : data base inconsistence. how to open file priv1.edb&priv1.stm with software so that I no lose mailbox user. thanks _____ Do you Yahoo!?
