Exchange Server as a LINKED SERVER

I have successfuly link Exchange to my sql server...what i
am trying to do is fetch all the data of the Exchange and
archive it to an SQL database... my question is it
possible when i got all the information from exchange and
archive it... i can use that archive to restore my
exchange mailboxes or something similar? any suggestions
is highly appreciated...
I don't think so as it's not in the same format needed by Exchange.
You'd want to look at just backing up Exchange. For individual
mailboxes, you could look at brick level backup/restore.

|||Yeah, I think you're right. But my problem is this. If i
use the ExMerge Utility of microsoft, it only permits me
to backup not more that 2gb of file? I am using E2K
server...any suggestions? Because our mails are larger
than 2GB because of the attachments and one more thing...
will ExMerge backup or archive the attachments?

better off posting questions on ExMerge in one of the
Exchange newsgroups. Try:
microsoft.public.exchange2000.admin
