Error: Trying to restore mailboxes with Backup Exec 10d

[timpu33]

Hi Everyone,

I've done something stupid and setup a recipient policy that permenently deleted everyone's Sent Items. Now I want to recover all that data. I have a full backup from night and the recipient policy ran today. I'm running Exchange 2003. I don't do brick level backup, and I don't have a Recovery Storage Group. What I do have is the Information Store backed up with Backup Exec 10d.

Here's my process:
1. Deleted the errant recipient policy
2. Unmounted the mailbox and public folders
3. Made sure "This Database can be overwritten by restore" is checked
4. Restored with Backup Exec 10d. I restored the Information Store, and BE said 'successful"
5. Rebooted the Server.

My Problem: All the sent items are still missing from everyone's mailbox.

Any suggestions? Thanks for any help!

Tim

Thanks everyone for your help. I was able to get this resolved. After installing the Deleted Items recovery on the client machines, I've been able to restore everyone's sent items. YAAAAAAY.
