My problem was being naïve...I had someone else in the dept who setup
the
auto schedule of the backups...he didn't realize that NT Backup was
exchange
aware...he ended up doing manual backups (thru scheduler) and backed up
the
wrong drives/folders/files...so when we tried to recover, all I could
find
was the bin files...all the edb files were on different partitions.

Fred, could you describe your backup routine pre-failure?
I have heard this problem many times, and just so curious what you were
doing wrong! jlc

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.  Best $249.00 I've ever spent...saved my ass and my job.

PSS.$249US approx.Worth every penny.

Or have you already gone down that path? (attempted to recover with
Microsoft)

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,
