I need to recover data from an Exchnage Database (.edb) which has become too large to successfuly restore from back. So my idea is to recover the mailboxes separately and have them mounted on the user's computers as archives.

The database is exteremely huge (200 GB), and yah, I know, I should have been wiser but now I need a solution. Anyone with some tools that can just extract this data.

In happier days I would have just let the whole thing go but now the Chief of Staff is breathing down my neck.

Hmm.. if you cannot find the relevant information from Google search, then you may need to get an Exchange expert to do this for you. I know a few, and I believe you too do know some.

You did not say what you have tried and the error you have encountered, so you've left a lot of assumptions flying...

I googled for "Exchange Server Database Recovery Procedure' and what I've seen is scaring me off my seat already, but maybe you get a clue..

I can bet this list doesn't have any Exchange experts, but maybe Conrad is...
