Actully just before you asked this question I remembered that we do have procedures that we go through when a user leaves which includes exporting their mailbox to a PST file. I unfortunately don't handle our backups and restores and moves, adds, and changes it's our Admin people. I do have alittle control of it though. This last mailbox that we had to restore gave all kinds of errors and we had to reboot the server I don't think we had a PST file though. It's good practice to be able to restore a mailbox though since that's what we're using Backup Exec for.
