What if you try and exmerge out the data at that point? Can you view it as a .pst?

We also received a -1019 error which microsoft refers to a hardware or software issue. When we do a hard repair to the database then restart the Exchange services we can see how many items belong to a folder and we can see all of the folders, default and custom folders but we can not see the mail. the folders even state how many unread messages are in the folder. thanks, todd <<< [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1/10 7:26a >>> Is _any_ of the data accessible?

Unfortunately MS was not able to help this time. I don't think there is anything available to recover the database but I wanted to investigate it first before I gave up hope. Hopefully a miracle will happen and someone will have a utility that might help. They are running with a database from Nov. 3rd so they didn't lose everything, only the last 2 stinking months of e-mail, but that makes a big difference to management. thanks, todd >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/09/02 05:05PM >>> Yup...just went thru the scenerio described...my database went bad...only to realize we were backing up the wrong info...spent 3-4 hours running all the esutils with no luck...called MS support at 11:30pm (thinking there was no way they could help me with no backups)...they had my Exchange up in 20 minutes...and worked to clean out the database thru the next day (I was so so relieved..)...also taught me how to backup (correctly)...boy did I learn a lot.

Or have you already gone down that path? ("attempted to recover with Microsoft") William -----Original Message----- From: Todd Wood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 4:44 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Database recovery help A client of ours has a corrupted database that we attempted to recover with Microsoft with no luck. I was wondering if anyone has any input on a 3rd party utility that might assist us in recovering at least some of the mail? I know restoring from backups would be the ideal solution but we don't have that option, I know, I know, it's a long story but unfortunately we don't have that option at this time. Any info is greatly appreciated. thanks, Todd Wood Peterbuilt Technology List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
