This white paper (Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
Exchange 2000 Server Database Recovery) from MS is a must read for
anyone trying to recover an exchange 2000 server. We have done it
successfully in test and I assure it is a nose bleed.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Exchange 2000 redirected restore

Hi, looking for a bit of help with a troubled restore.
We are trying to restore an Exchange2000 Info Store backed up from
server A to newly built server B. Everything goes well until the restore
initiates. We get errors like the following:

11:48:06 (4887.001) INF - Beginning restore from server BACKUPSERVER to
client ServerB.
11:48:08 (4887.001) TAR - Microsoft Information Store:\
11:48:08 (4887.001) TAR - Microsoft Information Store:\First Storage
Group\
11:48:08 (4887.001) TAR - Microsoft Information Store:\First Storage
Group\Private Information Store (SERVERA)
11:48:08 (4887.001) (4887.001) WRN - error writing object: Microsoft
Information Store:\First Storage Group\Private Information Store
(SERVERA)
11:48:08 (4887.001) (4887.001) WRN - error writing byte: 0
11:48:08 (4887.001) (4887.001) WRN - desired byte count: 56832
11:48:08 (4887.001) (4887.001) WRN - actual byte count: 24

Server B has plenty of space available in the directory to which we are
trying to re-direct it. We redirected by specifying "put recovered files
in a different directory but preserve directory structure", and keeping
the default settings for both client and destination client of
"Microsoft Directory Store:/". ServerA and ServerB keep their Stores on
different drives.

Any sugestions as to why we're getting these errors?
