Re: Journal Recovery

I thought of that but these people are pretty verbose adding many entries
everyday, so I would think that the chances that they archived right before
the backup ran is probably pretty remote. I might just check on another
backup.

I have started the process of rebuilding the original server and will
restore exchange. I've got to cover every base on this. The client won't go
postal but they will be up the proverbial creek if the data is gone.

Thanks,
Tom
