Restoring Exchange 2010 Public Folders, job completes but data not there.

[Jason_Meyer]

Having a bit of difficulty getting a PF database to restore. Ran through the guide me wizard and nothing restores.The media shows the entire hierarchy of the public folders so I know the data is there. Guessing I am missing something.

Forgot to mention its Exchange 2010.

Well went with a restore of the folders I needed. Its slow, but restoring each message one by one.

...is your temporary staging location still C:\Temp? If so, change it to a drive with enough disk space to temporarily hold the Information Store and try again.

Also, is this from tape or from disk, and does the job log show any sort of byte count?

[Jason_Meyer]

Have nearly 14GB available and the store is just under 2GB so enough temp space.

Its from disk and the job log shows a byte count and has a completion status of successful.

Doing the individual message restore has had some issues. The folders are no longer calendars and only accept Mail and Notes, and I can't change the form to be IPM.Appointment(have given myself Owner).
