One more question: If you increase the Deleted Item Recovery for such a long
time don't you have to consider impact on harddiskspace? (as you can guess,
am a bit short in that respect)

You need to be using Outlook XP, 2000 or 98. Then as the user select the
deleted items folder so it has the focus. Then from Tools Menu select
Recover Deleted Items, which will bring you up a dialogue box of deleted
items. If the user has done a hard delete i.e. held the shift key down while
deleting refer to Technet article, Q178630.
Good luck,
Paul

Paul,
How do you use Outlook to recover the items?

Hello,
For those of you that use Veritas Backup Exec to backup the Exchange server,
what type of back up jobs do you run? Daily Differentials and Full every
Friday.
[Bendall, Paul] Full every day, we are limited by space 40/80GB not time.
DO you backup the IS and the individual mailboxes every evening or just the
IS. [Bendall, Paul] Just the IS, individual mailboxes are brick level
backups and they are felt by almost every Exchange Administrator to be a bad
thing. If you want more I can send you an interesting article that will put
you off the idea .
I think we here have been backing up the individal mailboxes every day as
well since we have had numerous problems with users accidentally deleting
stuff and needing it restored.
[Bendall, Paul] Use deleted item retention, not enabled by default (set
under the Public / Private Information store containers under the server in
Exchange admin, assuming Exchange 5.5) This means that all messages are
marked as deleted but not actually deleted from the IS and can therefore by
recovered in Outlook. Also do most of you utilize the Open File option in
veritas as you may have users in email while it is being backed up?
[Bendall, Paul] Do not under any circumstances use an Open File Option when
backing up Exchange this could corrupt your IS and DS
I just wanted to get an idea of what type of backup strategy is used by
others. Thanks,
