  • Blog of the EMEA SBS Team : How to use the Recovery Storage Group to restore a Single Mailbox. – Exchange 2003 supports Recovery storage groups to restore data from a single mailbox. In previous the previous versions of Exchange, you would have to bring up a test server, restore a full Exchange backup, and then extract the required information into PSTs using tools like Exmerge. Once the extraction was done, this information would have to be then imported into the production Exchange server. Being long and tiring, this wasn’t the most popular administrative job. In this post I will walk you through steps on how to use Recovery Storage Group.

For example, to set tape 001038 to never expire (actually, this sets it to expire sometime in 2038, but close enough for those of us living in 2009):

bpexpdate -m 001038 -d infinity

To expire 001038 immediately:

bpexpdate -m 001038 -d 0
