I take weekly backups of exchange in full. I also take complete weekly backups of the entire server.

It is a Server 2003 R2 with AD and Exchange 2003 all on one box.

One users inbox has disappeared. She has 19000+ junk items now. It is possible the inbox got mixed into the junk. Regardless it is such a huge mess she is not going to go through all of that....

I want to restore he mailbox from the backup.

I followed this MS KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823176 I had to use Method 3. I have a VM of Server 2003 R2 with exchange but I am having failures on the restore from NT backup. The backup log just states to check the application log.... Application log points to backup log...

Only info Is failed to restore

Only thing different is the computer name...

The only error I can find is in the Applicaiton log.

Information Store Database not found

All others just say that the backup failed.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
