Need to restore a single mailbox 1

[jbrittain]

We have the situation where a mailbox was deleted and now someone wants it back (surprise, surprise!). We have a recent backup tape, so that's not an issue. We have restored the entire system before, but have never been asked to restore a single mailbox. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this task? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

What backup software are you running? Any Agents?

We are running Veritas Backup Exec v.8 on a Windows 2000 server, with the Exchange agent, accelerator agent and the open file agent.

In that case, just go to the catalogued tape that has the mailbox and tick that one only. You can then restore it into the existing database.

I have not done it with BE8 or 2k, but it works fine under BE7.3 and NT4.

We'll give it a try. Thanks for your assistance.
