Re: Exchange Recovery Question

so this is not actually an "online" backup? is that what you mean? had
you ever tested recovery from this type of backup?

I use Symantec's LiveState to do most of my system backups at work.
Early Monday morning (around 1 - 2 AM )a power failure took down our
exchange server. Testing the database showed some corruption, as well
as a couple damaged / missing log files from around that time. I did a
restore of the E: drive (mail store) that had completed around
midnight. We're back up and working; however I have lost almost a
full day (Monday) of email.
Before restoring the E: drive, I xcopied all the files that had
originally been on the E: drive to a temp directory on C:.
I'm unsure now how to integrate any of the data from the original
damaged database into the restore. I've read the Microsoft Using
Recovery Storage Group documentation, but because I used a LiveState,
which does backups by the volume shadow copy API, it looks like I
don't have any way to pull any data from the original database.
Is there a way available to do to?
