We use SEV for mailbox archiving and journaling.
Trying to see what the options are when there is a SEV disaster. We take nightly backups of SEV. If SEV fails we can restore it from the backup but at that point the data will be a day old.
How do you get the journaling data that you are missing at that point?
I had hoped to be able to recover the items from the journaling mailboxes using the exchange dumpsters and have SEV process the messages again but the recover deleted items for these mailboxes seem to be grayed out. We have a global limit that retains deleted items within exchange for an extended period of time. Does SEV delete the data in a way that is not recovered from the exchange dumpster? What is the recommended solution here?
Thanks,

Thanks for your responce.
We can't really set the journaling task to leave messages in the mailbox for after backup because of the large number of emails that get. I was really hoping to be able to use exchange dumpsters.
Does anyone know why the messages removed by SEV don't show up in the dumpster? Is there an option to allow for that?

It is not exchange as If I delete a message manually from outlook it makes it to the dumpster. Messages removed by SEV don't.
Our exchange environment is already configured to have a very high dumpster limit. The environment was created so we can keep messages in the dumpster for 1 year (yea i know it's crazy). The transaction logs get cleared after each nightly backup so that wouldn't help.
It just seems to me like SEV is removing the messages in a way that can't be retrieved. I wish there was a way to control that.
