This is a prime reason you should keep a server maintenance log!

... as long as your were at W2K SP1 and Ex5.5 SP4 in April. If not, then
you will have to re-install to the exact versions you were at in April.

Hello All,
Note:
Exchange Server 5.5 SP4
Windows 2000 SP1
Recovery Server and Production Exchange server have identical Exchange
server, Windows 2k server and service packs.
I have just successfully completed a DR test using the last full backup tape
(Friday's tape). My manager would like me to do another test but this time
using a full backup tape from April 2001. He said that back in July they
lost some public folder data and could not recover it and was wondering if I
could do another DR test using an older tape. My question is this. Should
I reinstall Exchange and do all the steps over again? Can I just restore
the IS and DS from April and would it overwrite the current one? What is
the best way to go about performing the next DR test?
Thanks,
