Hi all,

I'm restoring an Exchange server from a backup:
[1] the backup was created on 19/12/2010
[2] the server kept running until 20/12/2010
[3] we're restoring the server today 21/12/2010 with the backup from [1]

My understanding is that when the server comes back:
[4] whatever is in users' inbox since [1] will be deleted.
[5] whatever is in users' sent box since [2] should be re-sent.

[6] As a safety measure we've moved all emails sent/received between [1] and [3] to .PST files.

Questions:
-are [4] & [5] statements correct?
-is there any way to move back emails from the PST file [6] to the current inbox/sent folders so that Exchange takes these emails into account (instead of deleting them)?
-what happens to the Calendar items that were added after [1], is there any way to back those up as well if needed?

Many thanks
