Hi,
I have SBS2011/Exchange 2010 being backed up to an external USB HD using Windows Server Backup software. Yesterday an user deleted a folder in his INBOX by mistake and wants to know if it can be restored from the backup. I run daily backup at 6PM. So the exchange backup was done after he deleted a folder in his INBOX using Outlook.
How do I restore an specific folder in user's mailbox from Windows Server Backup?
When I use Backup Exec SBS version of Backup software, I can restore a folder or an mail item from user mailbox, but not sure how it is done on Windows Server Backup.
That said, if the folder was deleted less than 30 days ago, it is likely still in his Recoverable Items folder, which can be accessed by right clicking the Deleted Items folder and selecting Recover Deleted Items. This is the most efficient method, but the folder has to be rebuilt from scratch and the messages recovered in bulk or individually and moved to the folder for this method to work.
If he hasn't emptied his deleted Items folder, the deleted folder is probably still in there and can be easily recovered exactly as it was.
