I have got a lot of system config details and will rebuild it to the same NT SP and Exchange SP :) Is there anything else I may have over looked?

I have a quick question about a Disaster Recovery procedure I am carrying out for a client. Status is as follows: Someone has deleted critical files from the root of C:, WINNT.SBS, Exchsrvr and Arcserve. Client has NO GOOD BACKUP! Exchange no longer works - Databases appear to be intact. Exchange Admin console no longer works. Cannot reboot Server - if I do, it will no longer come back online!! I have managed to backup their Data onto various PC's so I know this is safe. I have also taken an OFFLINE Backup of the MDBDATA Folder that contains Priv and Pub. The client has Small Business Server 4.5 I am going to rebuild the Server, but would just like to confirm a few points, regarding SBS 4.5 (1) I believe I am right in thinking I do NOT have to install Exchange 5.5 straight away via the SBS Wizards? And I also assume I can install Exchange 5.5 later, once I have the Server back up and running? (2) Any special procedure needed in restoring my MDBDATA folder BACK onto the Server. What I am concerned about is that when I recreate all user accounts, I was a little unsure about recreating Mailboxes for the users. If Exchange in installed on this Server, then it will give me an option to create a Mailbox. Of course I can un tick the box that says don't create a Mailbox. Any advice is very welcome.
