Exchange Recovery Group Restore, Database Fix Benchmark

I’m storing this more for my own reference ๐Ÿ™‚

Details:
– Had to restore a mailbox for someone (5+ GB)
– Information Store (Exchange 2003 SP2) was 113GB (75GB Priv1.edb, remaining was .stm)
– Server with 4GB of Memory, HP DL380 G4, dual processor

How Long and What it Took:
– Had to restore copy of database to recovery storage group (took about 3 hours from USB Drive)
– Had to then do a repair before mounting (took 11.5 hours and stalled for a long time with Deleting unicode fixup table” – even appears to hang altogether – watch eseutil.exe process, it’s memory will climb and shrink – it IS active)
– Then Ran Mailbox Recovery Wizard (took about 36 minutes for his 5+ GB Mailbox)
