I'd whack the databases and log files before doing the second recovery.

Restoring your tape from April should work, as long as the version and
service packs were the same as they are now...
I have had difficulty restoring older tapes if the service pack at the time
of backup is different then the service pack at time of restore

Hello All,
Note:
Exchange Server 5.5 SP4
Windows 2000 SP1
Recovery Server and Production Exchange server have identical Exchange
server, Windows 2k server and service packs.
I have just successfully completed a DR test using the last full backup tape
(Friday's tape). My manager would like me to do another test but this time
using a full backup tape from April 2001. He said that back in July they
lost some public folder data and could not recover it and was wondering if I
could do another DR test using an older tape. My question is this. Should
I reinstall Exchange and do all the steps over again? Can I just restore
the IS and DS from April and would it overwrite the current one? What is
the best way to go about performing the next DR test?
Thanks,
