I agree with Michael, the documentation is not clear but I am sure it just eases the process of copying the information from tape to hard drive.

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.
