Title: Shrink 5.5 database

We are attempting to setup a test environment and do a restore of our 5.5 server from tape.  We got database and directory restored to a test server, but when I try to start the IS, it tells me I have to do a defrag.  Problem is, my IS is about 35GB and I only have about 15GB of free space to work with on my test server.  So the defrag runs out of space before it completes.  I don't have the option of putting any more drives in this server, it is maxed out. 

Can't I use exmerge or something like that to strip out some of the larger attachments in the store so that I can shrink it down enough to finish the defrag?  I don't really need all the mail, I just want a working server.  Or does the store have to be running to run exmerge?
