Re: Recovering Inbox Hard Deleted Items

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

although, if I remember correctly, if you restore from a backup, then
extract the data from a mailbox to a pst file, you won't see items in the
"dumpster" area...they will appear in the folder they were hard deleted
from...

No. If you can't recover from (restored) dumpster, the items have been
purged prior to backup.

I apologize, I thought from things we'd tried similar to the original
poster, that the restored database didn't have any "dumpster" items. I
guess I thought the backups only took the active data out of the database
and that anything in the dumpster area was somehow marked as not needed.

I'm pretty sure your normal online backups do NOT back up the
"dumpster" items. Since the hard deleted items weren't backed up,
they're not recoverable from the restored/recovered database.

Hi Gurus,

I need to restore some emails that the user hard deleted from the
inbox last
year (longer than my retention).

After I restore the database, I use EXMERGE with the "Items on
dumpster"
switch to recover to a pst. The recovered PST is not is not bringing
the hard
deleted items from Inbox.

The user told me he use to hard delete the items on the same day he
received, but now he needs the emails urgently.


Is there a compliance tool that is capable of connecting to the
Recovery
Storage Group and bring the Inbox Hard Deleted Items? or a tool that
can read
the exchange database file, and bring the Inbox hard deleted items?

Thanks a lot,










.
