I would try to restore the tape to an offline box, mount the database, exmerge the user's data, and then your boss can view the employee's work. We use ntbackup as well, the method we use is to backup the entire server on tape, and exmerge all the mailbox's and backup them up as well. If we need to restore a single mailbox or just view a single *.pst file, exmerge can solve that problem. -----Original Message----- From: Gene O'Brien [mailto:Gene@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: March 3, 2003 11:19 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Restoring Former Employee's Calendar? http://www.MSExchange.org/ But can I restore an individual's mailbox only if we've been using ntbackup as our backup method? I may have misunderstood (i'm new here), but i thought that was only able to do the whole shooting match, not individuals. And no, unfortunately, the budget here is dreadful, there are no test or backup systems. Ugh. -gene -----Original Message----- From: Linda Wilson [mailto:lwilson@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 12:23 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Restoring Former Employee's Calendar? http://www.MSExchange.org/ My first guess will be to restore the users mailbox, and the export the calendar... do you have a test system you could put this on?

Hi All, I've been asked to figure out how, if it all, to do this. We had an employee who is no longer with us, has been gone for probably about a year. My boss wants to get a copy of his old Outlook calendar. We've been using ntbackup. Assuming I can even find a tape that goes back far enough to still contain his data, is there any way to restore this without screwing up everyone else's mail? How would I go about this? Anyone have any ideas?
