I'm not sure what you mean. We currently use long term retention for legal
issues and have never had a problem with any of our restores. Like wise we
have done many full server recovery tests that work with no problems at all.
As a matter of fact in our test W2K lab we have done entire 5.5 recovery
tests to multiple servers in order to test W2K migration and Active
Directory migration, all of which are approximately a month old. Please
include additional information.

Subject: TDP for Exchange follies


Having talked to one of our Exchange experts, I've come to discover
the fallacy of keeping a zillion backups of Exchange data.

Exchange 5.5 (and I assume 2000 as well) cannot deal with a loss of
connectivity to the network of more than 72 hours. If you attempt to
restore data that is older than that, Exchange will not work properly.

Thus it seems folly to backup Exchange data with a preservation of
more than 3 days.
