I just did the recovery of a contact using the recover deleted items and it worked fine? Even though the GUI leads you to believe it is only going to recover mail items, it actually does them all.

I've done about 2 restores in about the last year, once for an accidental deletion of a mailbox and another for a load of 'hard' deleted contacts. He advises waiting a month before mailbox deletion, I prefer using exmerge to copy the mailbox to an archive area (We leave it there for a month or 2) along with a copy of the users profile and home dir and then delete the account. This way you have an exact copy of any data you delete and keeps everything tidy. I also don't advertise the availability of the recover deleted items option. Generally the user doesn't need to know about it and the ones that do often purge that as well.

I know there are many disadvantages of doing this especially since the fact that you are doing double the work and your tape could run for several hours more than if you were to just backup the IS and Dir but can a brick level backup cause problems with your logs and cause your Exchanges services like the IS service to fail? Just curious. We have a client that insists on doing it this way. Although in my brick level scheme im only backing up the Inbox and no other Outlook folder. I just want to maek sure that by doing brick-level im not going to further mess their exchange server.
