SEV Backup dilemma

jahanbin
Level 3

We are running SEV 8 SP4 with Exchange 2007 SP2

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,

Nima
