Hello,
I have an Exchange 2010 server that had its main production mailbox database crash Wednesday morning after a power outtage. In examining my various routes to recovery, I noticed that I have Shadow Copy Components backing up on the server as well, and there was a snapshot differential done on Tuesday night (the point we'd like to recover to in any scenario).
Long story short, restoring the mailbox to a recovery database is proving more challenging than it should (even giving Microsoft support a run for its money) and I'm wondering if I can just export all of the mail from Wednesday to today, then roll the server back via Shadow Copy Components? I inherited this environment from a previous admin who is no longer around, so I'm a bit new and I didn't want to attempt this with no knowledge before hand. I have the command to export each mailbox's mail for the wed-current timeframe (thanks again Microsoft support), and now I'm just wondering if it really should be that easy as to roll the server back to tuesday and give everyone their respective PST files.
Is there something I should double check? Any caveats? Any advice would be much appreciated here, thanks!
