Chris,

On Exchange 2000 Microsoft made it a little more
difficult to do this. Look here for more detailed info:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/exchange2000/support/dbrecovr.asp

By the way, a new Microsoft document that describes quite
a bit about Exchange restore and related information written
by Jon Hoerlein and Chris Frediani can be found here:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/exchange2000/proddocs/onlinebooks/disrec/default.asp

(sorry for the long URLs).

The paper is called:
"Disaster Recovery for Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server"
and it contains quite a bit of information as well
as a good lst of other references for more information
at the end of the document. Some of tohse are:
