Exchange 5.5sp4 running on Windows 2000 SP3, 180 day deleted item retention enabled on public and private stores.
We have a public folder with around 2000 contacts in it. Recently the people who look after those contacts have been making a lot of changes, and a couple of times have managed to stuff up the contents of the folder (losing all the assigned categories). I can't watch them whilst they work (and wouldn't want to) and whilst I suspect it's been down to finger trouble I look after the mail servers so if they need the contents back as they were it comes my way. There's been nothing in the dumpster, I'm assuming changing a contact doesn't count as a deletion of the original in the way moving it would? I don't do bricks level backups, only online backups using ntbackup, and it's a PITA to restore the databases to a recover server as there's about 50gb in all to deal with. One thought was to set something up that every X hours simply copies the contents of the folder to a backup folder which is read-only to all but the service account (or whatever the copy job would run under). I'm unsure what, if any options there may be to acheive this automagically - appreciate any thoughts (guillotining their fingers isn't an option). regards, Paul _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
