Hello if anyone has a clue how to restore certain folders through RSG that would be helpfull. Cheers KoalaBear

see, you can restore the whole mailbox database in RSG and recover certain mails for a user. You can not restore certain mails to directly any PST file, so you need to first restore it to any temporary mailbox and from there export to PST. Example: If you want to restore certain mail for John then temporary copy it to Sam's John Email folder like below... Restore-Mailbox -RSGMailbox 'John' -RSGDatabase 'RSG\Mailbox Database' -id 'Sam' -TargetFolder 'John Email' Below the awesome post by Exchange Team, Hope it will help you to understand he things better. http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/11/28/431669.aspx Thanks

If you are just after a specific folder and its entire contents use: Restore-Mailbox -Identity PutUserNameHere -RSGDatabase MyRSGDatabase -IncludeFolders \Inbox\Folder1 The other option would be to use a 3rd party product like Lucid8's DigiScope http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp which will allow you to open any offline database with an intuitive Graphical User Interface so that you can Browse, Search, Export to PST & MSG formats or in your case recover/import data directly from the Offline Database into any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 --> 2007 --> 2010. To accomplish this you can do a simple Drag & Drop method or use one of the wizard processes Troy Werelius www.Lucid8.com Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline EDB's and Live Exchange Servers with Lucid8's DigiScope
