Problem in recoverying exchange data

Question

Hi, I have to recover one mailbox from a recyclable exchange save set. The backup of this save set is spread in 5 tapes. I am able to see the saveset in all 5 tapes. The save set flags on different tapes are as follows: 593 mE 608 mE 610 mE 619 hE 711 tE In admin guide I have found that I need to run scanner in the sequence in which these tapes are used. But I do not know how to find the sequence. Is it possible to recover the particular mailbox using save set recovery? If so how? Otherwise how to find the sequence of running scanner command. Thanks in advance.

No saveset recovery for modules backup, you'll have to use scanner on those tapes, or use "nsrck -L7 -t " to recover the indexes from when the saveset was not expired (usually faster than running scanner).

hE is the Head, and tE is the tail, all others are between them

Probably you can find the sequence looking at the daemon.log file for when the backup was done.

I have run scanner on first tape that is 619 and after some time it asked for tape 610. I have put 610 tape and then it is asking for starting file number.Anyone has a clue how to find it?

I guess 'mediafile' is the field in the mminfo output that should give you this number.

I have not seen any thing like this in mminfo.

I have not seen any thing like this in mminfo.

From mminfo manual:

mediafile number 5 The media file number containing
the current section of the save set.
mediarec number 5 The media record number where the
first bytes of the save set are found
within the current media file.
