Re: 3-rd tools to Recovery edb files

What sort of hardware problem was it? hard Disk? Memory? Raid controller?
Were your db's and logs stored on different volumes? Unless the corruption
was system-wide, it would be unusual for both the database and the log files
to experience corruption (in my experience).

Run the Disaster Recovery Analyzer tool that Andy mentioned. It will
analyze the logs and databases and tell you what you can do. That's
probably the best suggestion I've got.

Thanks all for your help.

This was an issue that I worked with Microsoft PSS. A HW issue caused the
DB to become corrupt. They direct me on how to recover the DB, which we
did, but up to a certain point. I have the old db and logs files
available, I'm just trying to to recover (export to PST) as much as I can
of two days worth of data, that resides on logs files, some of them which
may be corrupt. If you have any ideas would be appreciate it.

thanks again,

Let's be clear here. These 3rd party tools are NOT database/log file
maintenance tools. I.e., they don't *fix* things. What they do is allow
you to directly access databases (on disk, on tape, etc.) and export
information out of them into another location.

If you have corruption in your log files or databases, the native tools
are
still the best, and calling Microsoft PSS would be an even better option.
