This powertools sounds interesting. When it reads the online backup from the tape does it need to read the whole thing or can it locate a mailbox, message etc on the tape and extract it? I tried to find out on the website but it's not exactly clear as to whether you can do this...
We've had to do a few recovery restores to get back mailboxes in the past and while this is dead easy, it takes hours to restore the IS from tape. > -----Original Message----- > From: Bendall, Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 30 July 2003 17:50 > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working > > > Right in that case the latest version of PowerTools is able > to read the backup tape and get the priv.edb file directly > from the Online Backup.
