I think he means how do you recover an individual mailbox if you don't back up individual mailboxes.
Basically you need a "backup server", where you restore the priv, export the mailbox and import it back into the live database.

MessageThe "whole mailbox" is corrupt? Then your database is hosed.
The data in a "mailbox" is scattered throughout your information store -
it's not like each user has their own section of the database.
You might want to do some reading on the Exchange database - Tony Redmond
and Paul Robichaux have both written books that explain this nicely, and
TechNet has really good info too.

Using Deleted Items Retention is OK for recovering individual messages but
what happens if the whole Mailbox is Corrupt.
If you have not Backed Up individual Mailboxes and you need to recover One
individuals Mail Box by restoring the whole of Exchange, then everyone would
lose their mail up to the last Back Up.
If I am missing something here please correct me.
We also use BackUp Exec and have had no problems with it so far,

Ok, I've looked at this and am trying to implement. But one thing has me
puzzled, I have enabled the deleted item retention set for 30 days as you
recommend but when I go into OutLook and try to recover an item, the option
is grayed out. Is the action only avail on the server?

Full backups Daily.
Backup the IS and DS
Do Not Backup Individual Mailboxes
Implement 30 day Deleted Items Retention in Exchange. You will never need to
restore again.
As for OFM, People say to stay away. I have personally seen it running in
8.5 on an Exchange server daily and it worked great, though you were
essentially backing up everything twice. But I believe the rule of thumb is
don't use it.

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. DO you backup the IS and the individual mailboxes every evening or
just the IS. 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.
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?
I just wanted to get an idea of what type of backup strategy is used by
others.
Thanks,
