With your first option, you must delete or move the transaction logs so that
they don't replay.
The second option is by far the best. The machine doesn't have to be fast
enough to handle all your users; it just needs enough disk space to recover
the folders. You'd use Outlook to copy them to a PST, and then back to the
production server.
Susan's subsequent point about deleted item recovery is well taken.
