Friday afternoon the server died.
Saturday morning I created a dial tone data base and got mail running.
I restored to recovery storage group.
The restore replayed the logs from the backup.
I did not replay existing logs from bad database.
I swapped databases and merged.
I am up and running.
The mail between the restored db (thurs nite) and the failure point (friday
afternoon) is still
in the logs.
Is it too late to replay them?
Can I play them to the dialtone db and remerge?
Yes, you can rerun the restore to the RSG again ( be sure to clear all
the existing files out of it) and put those trans logs that need to be
replayed in the RSG directory and restore so they can be replayed..
After that you can merge all those messages back into the existing
mailboxes into a sep. recovered folder, or maybe a better option is to
use exmerge after the restore to the RSG is complete and filter on the
time period you are missing and export based on that filter.
In theory, you can merge the whole thing back into the production
mailboxes and there wont be dups based on message id, but at this
point, you probably do not want to risk that and the exmerge option
might be the best.
