Restore Question - Locate Old Email

Jimson5681 · Joined: 07 Jan 2008 Posts: 2

I am not sure if this is the proper place to post this question but
here goes:

Have a server currently running Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise. I
need to find an email that may have been sent in 2006. I have two
backups that were run during that time frame. I need to some how
restore these backps in order to locate the email in question. I
believe that I was using Exchange 2000 server standard edition when
this email was generated. The two backups in question are in the
native Exchange backup format.

There is the background. I would like to some how restore from the old
backups but I do not want to affect my "production" email system. Can
anyone offer any advice on how to complete this task?

Thanks in advance....

Easy way is to use third party,

Hard way is to setup offline recovery server to restore and export to pst
file,

Does it matter that the backups that I have were run on Exchange 2000
Std? I am currently on Exchange 2003 enterprise?

Depends, what method are you choosing to recover the emails?

Restore with gap in log files I think I know the answer to this but I'm hoping for miracles. I have a successful backup from two nights ago and then one night ago I start getting 478 errors on my .stm file (mismatch consistency check). Problem is I got partial backups twice since then
