restoration of information storeHello
We need to restore email for a specific user giong back as far as possible. We have recalled backup tapes. We have never done an exchange restore before. The information store for this user was not backed up via brick level backups. We are thinking to use alternative hardware, in our test environment domain, which does not currently have an exchange server. Any tips or helpful hints would be very welcome. Should we just build a windows 2003 server and try restoring it all?? An entire exchg restore. I have to assume that once the information store is restored in test we could use exmerge to extract to a pst file. Should exchg be installed and just try restoring the edb files?
