Well.. I'm assuming E2K (don't know enough about E55 and eseutil)... you have a couple questions/problems.
1. If you have already mounted the store and did not have the tlogs you copied in the templogs dir... then Andy is correct... too late. You should have unchecked 'last backup set' during the restore... let the restore run, then copied the tlogs into that templogs dir that you specified during the restore... then ran eseutil /cc by hand. 2. To check the tlogs (and I _think_ you would have had to have done this with the tlogs in their original place and with the original db... but not sure)... eseutil /ml ... I believe. At this point, you could do the following: 1. restore that backup to an offline exchange server and do the eseutil /cc there... 2. exmerge out the data however many days back you want to go. I think that you will find that if in fact you have a bad tlog.. you will only be able to recover mail up to that point in time... jeff e. -----Original Message----- From: Andy David [mailto:davida@;vss.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 8:37 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Log File I think if you had restored the week old online? backup then restarted the services with those log files in place it would have replayed them on startup. At this late point however, I think its too late. I'm sleepy ,so someone may need to correct me on this. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Carlson [mailto:domitianx@;domitianx.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 8:51 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Log File A few weeks ago my exchange server wouldn't mount the IS. I found an article that talked about moving all the log files from the MDBData folder to a different location which would then let you mount the IS again. Apparently it was a corrupt log file or something. In the mean time of trying to figure it out I also restored from a back up tape. which set me back a week or two. My question now is can I take those log files and reapply them to the current IS to get the messages applied? Do I just copy them back over one at a time to see if I can find the offending file? Any ideas are appreciated. -Mike http://www.uselessthoughts.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:leave-exchange@;ls.swynk.com Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ The information contained in this email message is privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
