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.

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. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
