SideBar    Configuring Deleted Items Retention Periods in Exchange Server 2007

Executive Summary:
To perform a restore of a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 environment, you first have to have a viable backup, which you can make with NTBackup. You can restore an Exchange Server mailbox database with simple Windows PowerShell commands through Exchange Management Shell. You can restore a single mailbox through Exchange Management Console, or a single mail item through Microsoft Outlook, provided they haven't exceeded the deleted items retention period.

Nobody likes to think about it, but everybody knows that at some point disaster could strike your Exchange Server environment. It could be something external and unavoidable, such as a flood, earthquake, or fire. Or it could be something in the organization itself—a faulty piece of hardware or a failed connection. You need to be prepared—and you will be if you've performed your backups and know how to restore them quickly. . . .
