Restoring Data on Exchange 03
Hello: My boss lost his contacts and I need to restore it. I recently backed information storage full back up via NT back up. What can I use to extract only his contact info and restore it to him?
Thanks very much.
Thanks very much.

* I would also investigate Deleted Item Retention settings in Exchange (as well as Mailbox retention). It allows users to restore items they have deleted from their deleted items up to a period specified by yourself. I have ours set to 2 months and since doing this have not had to restore from tape since.
