Hope you're feeling better now!

If I remember rightly, you covered a section on creating a 'dial-tone' database. In that, you showed us how to merge in another, 'corrupted' database.
Could you possible go over that again?

Jemima,
Mark has written up a really comprehensive report of the session I delivered at http://blogs.conchango.com/markwilson/archive/2005/02/24/1051.aspx. (Thanks Mark). Using the Recovery Storage Group you merge the copy of a previously backed up database in to the empty Dial tone database (which may only have a few e-mails in this database). However, realistically, it would take a lot less time to merge a few mails from the Dial tone database into the original database which has been restored from a backup. To do this, dismount both databases, swap the .edb and .stm actual files from exchsrvr\MDBDATA to exchsrvr\Recovery Storage Group, mount the \MDBDATA database and merge the dial tone database back in. Have a look at the blogcast on using the Recovery Storage Group at http://blogs.msdn.com/eileen_brown/archive/2005/01/10/349882.aspx and read the document (Pages 40 and 48)at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=DF144AF6-BEE5-4B35-866A-557E25FE2BA1&displaylang=en for all of the imformation on RSG's and the Dial Tone database.

And yes - I feel much better now thank you - My cold has left me and infected someone else!
