We have a mixture of 98 and 2000, and while it doesn't work on those folders
in 98 (at least that's been my experience before I upgraded to OL2K) it
works on Outlook 2000 for tasks, calendar, contacts journals. Just tested
by shift+del on all of those folders and was able to recover. It would make
sense that it would not work for psts, since they are not part of the
message store, therefore not subject to deleted items retention. You might
want to consider going to OL2K yourself for this purpose ;-) .. jd

Just found out on TechNet that it varies between outlook 98 and 2000, we
still use 98.

Here's what I did:
Created the contact
Deleted the contact
Empty the trash bin
Recover delete items
Look for test contact
Wow, something that actually works in office XP

Was that from the deleted items folder or the Contacts folder?

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.

The only point I would make in addition to the below with regards to Deleted
Item recovery on all folders is that it doesn't work on Contacts, Notes,
Tasks and Colander items (Not sure about Journal items).
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.

Hello,
Does anyone do brick level backups? 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
