I need to be able to restore some public folders from a backup taken a few months ago. I know the "Recovery storage group" cannot be used to restore PF type data (just mailboxes). Can someone point me to the setup procedure needed for setting up a separate forest and domain with a exchange server that could be used to restore this data. I know that there are some things you need to make sure are duplicated while other things need to be different between the 2 domains and the 2 exchange servers. Any help is appreciated. If you want, you may email me directly at dh7658@hotmail.com or just reply to this post. I'll keep an eye on the forum. Thanks. Dan Hammond
