MickeySoft? Restoring from backup is always your first and best option. All GoExchange does is automate eseutil and isinteg - which allowed you to essentially run a broken database in production.
Your real issues, as you have noted, were poor hardware and a poor backup solution. ________________________________ From: Tom Strader [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2008 4:38 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Email de-duplicator? Good comments there and it makes sense, but when I took over at the PAC, their Exchange 5.5 server was getting corrupted at least once a week. We called Mickeysoft and they couldn't figure out the problem. Everything was setup properly, up to date etc. GoExchange was purchased and installed. It fixed the problems and the databases have never had a problem since. We are at Exchange 2K3 SP2 now and still use the program. It made a difference for us where Microsoft couldn't. Their response was restore from backup. At that time, the PAC was using demo backup software to backup about 200 Gigs of data. Needless to say, I insisted on better software and hardware to take care of this. Knowing what I know now, after having to restore the DB several times using the Eseutil and Isinteg utils for several weeks prior to upgrading the backup situation and reading this article, I probably would not renew the software. However, for what it's worth, it works for us, that's all I know.
