Maybe I'm getting old, but I don't think this made the list. If it's a duplicate and my original made it, I apologize. By the way, I'm sending this at 12:48 PM EST. Let's see what time it hits the list.

I run ArghhServe 6.61 SP1 on NT 4.0 SP5 Exchange 5.5 SP2.The following works for me: 1. On the recovery server stop all Exchange services except System Attendant. 2. On the Exchange recovery server rename the mdbdata folder on the store drive and log drive. 3. Restore the Information store only, not Directory services. 4. Start the Info store service and run DS/IS Consistency tool as described in Q163713. 5. To view Public folders, you must go to the Properties of the Public Information Store under Servers and on the Instances tab add the folders that you want to view. 6. You must use Either Outlook 97 or 98 as the client to recover and export .psts. It's Friday. It's Friday. It's Friday. I hope nothing breaks over the weekend. -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Winzenz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2001 3:38 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: ARGGHHSEERRVVEE! So I tested my backups again today. I was able to successfully restore the DB's (priv and pub - no dir for me). Of course, small wonder that the IS wouldn't start. So I run isinteg and test it. Of course, it was left in an Inconsistent State. So I run eseutil to check the integrity. It tells me the Database is corrupted. THANK YOU COMPUTER ASSOCIATES! In all fairness, I think this happened last time I tested my restores as well, and I ended up having to repair it with eseutil. I'll have to see what it brings me this time. I'm gonna start using NTBackup soon as I can get around to getting the single tape drive hooked up. I'm sick of this. Oh well. Ben Winzenz, MCSE Network/Systems Administrator Peregrine Systems, Inc.
