Tried all the eseutil / isinteg tricks, but just could not mount the restored databases. So I ended up using the dial tone restore, then exchange &nbsp;database recovery software to extract the mailboxes into pst files.

Hello Experts, <br />
<br />
&nbsp;We've just sufferered a double disk failure, resulting in the complete loss of &nbsp;the Data drive on a 2008 server, running Exchange 2007. (Also &nbsp;the DC) &nbsp;The O/S is still running and I'm able to access the Exchange Management Console. &nbsp;I'm in the process of getting some new HDs sent down so I can create a new RAID5 data drive. &nbsp;Whilst waiting I'm restoring the exchange edb file from our offsite backup to a usb drive. &nbsp; &nbsp;(Using Ahsay)<br />
<br />
Is it possible (highly doubt it) to recreate the folder structure on the Data drive where the edb was stored and just copy the edb file that I've restored from the offsite backup and then remount it ? .. Possibly with a little help from eseutil<br />
<br />
Any advice before starting this process would be gratefully received

Exchange 2007 edb restore

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
