What can I recover from old backup?

12-01-03, 04:21 PM

Hi

I have been asked to take a look (for legal purposes) at
some messages from about 6 months ago on our Exch 5.5
machine. There are a few pieces of information requested
in addition to the actual messages.
- Can I see the time stamp when the recipient actually
READ the message?
- The sender attempted to recall the message -- can I see
any logs of that action?

The messages are still on the server and I have the
recipient's workstation (hasn't been used since the time
in question). I also have a backup tape from a couple of
days later.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JC

I think it is highly unlikely that you will be able to get either of these
from looking at logs.
