As I understood from Ruba, you are correct. To all of us, if there was any wrong, please let me know. Is there any Paper for restoring individual mailbox Please provide me with that -----Original Message----- From: Sarbjit Singh Gill [mailto:ssgill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 18 رمضان, 1425 02:23 م To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: mailbox backup http://www.MSExchange.org/ Correct me if i am wrong about offline backups. The only time you would do a offline backup of your Exchange, is when, = your exchange server won't startup or store databases won't mount. So just = before you start doing some repair work, you would offline back them up. If your Exchange server is running/database mounted, e.g. in a = production environment, you would do a online backup and let the backup take care = of "cleaning up the log files". Kind Regards Gill
