Recover mailboxes from MDBDATA folder

Hi All

I'm using exchange server 2003 sp2, on windows server 2003 sp1. I had backed up the MDBDATA folder. Is it possible to restore all the previous mailboxes from MDBDATA folder, as it contains priv1.edb , priv1.stm and all other log files with E000*.log files

I would make a copy of the entire folder onto a DVD and try copying and pasting the folder into the new server, but please backup before you do so. What I would greatly suggest to you for future is to use tape backup as well as hard drive backup so that you always stay ahead of the problems.

The exchange store folder can be moved and can be restored, I would consult Microsoft on this issue. If you are planing on doing this make sure to do it on a weekend or a time when nobody is using the server and I would first try it in a test server, but don't forget to backup the data on the DVD so that its there in its original form. Good Luck as I had a similar dilema not too long ago. Also make sure that the new server has the same organization name or it won't mount.

Let me know if you need more help, Cyberdyne
