Well that makes sense to me, If recovering to the RSG you'd typically do
not have Current Logs, only Logs associated with the Restore set.
I guess you could copy any current Logs into the RSG Log location and allow
them to replay to recover any missing mail. Hmmmm I see your point now,
DPE won't in the GUI allow any current Logs to play.
So you'll need Sequential Logs, between restored and copied current Logs.
You copied current Logs to the RSG log location correct? Use eseutil /cc and
see if the Restore.env plays restored temp location logs then should play
any current logs. If not, This may work, rename the chk point file for that
RSG db and mount the store, that should verify/play through all available
Logs.
Or call PSS.
Right, Don't mount from DPE if you can't also play current Logs.

Also, I have Tivoli Data Protection for Exchange and it will not let me
"Replay Restored AND Current Logs" when I restore to RSG.
Should I tell it not to "Mount Databases After Restore" then use ESEUtil
to
replay them?
Any special instructions for ESEUtil since the dbs will be in a different
directory with different names than when the log files were created?

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.
