An unusual thing just occurred. I was able to restore using GRT from a tape backup to a service mailbox with data in the body. This is good news, however when i do a infostore backup to tape, i only get half of the users listed on the selection list for restoring. In the forums, there has been repeated discussion on how the legacymailbox address in the AD Schema must match the exchange alias, and in each case on my server, it does. However, only half of the people show up in the list. I am running another restore to make sure that it wasn't a fluke. So, to sum this up, 2 things are happening.

1. I can do an infostore backup to a b2d folder and see every mailbox in the restore selection list, however when i restore, i am unable to get message data from the message.

2. I can do an infostore backup to a tape and see only about half of the mailboxes in the restore selection list, however when i restore i am able to get actual message data.

Again, im restoring another message to make sure that this is in fact the complete case
