Recovering Exchange database in SBS2008
Hi,
I have a corrupt Exchagne Mail Store on my hands (SBS2008). It works as far as I can see but it fails integrity check.
I have a backup to the date when the store was OK.
All computers on the LAN use Cached mode for Outlooks.
What would be the best way forward to recouer the database and to bring it up to speed with workstations?

If I re-write corrupt database with a copy of good one, would cached mode from Outlooks push the missing data in automatically?
You can ran hard repaired to exchange database:

I would rather avoid ESEUTIL /P if I can help it.
I have a mailstore.edb which is fine and clean closed. Then I have 5 days backups which include now corrupt mailstore.edb and lots of .log files. How do I replay those later .log files into the old clean database?

cgaliher,
Thank you. Is there a recommendation to configure SBS 2008 to keep logs separately and for a longer time?

It is somewhat hard to beleive that exchange database recovery is limited to just restoring an old copy. I may be wrong but isn't there a more advanced method of getting data back from all available sources?

Running EEUTIL /R E00 lasts a second and doesn't result in a good database
The store mounts by the exchange.
