Auditing mailboxes 1

[MartyBoy]

Hello fellow bleary eyed readers
I have an ongoing requirement to audit client organisations mailboxes for content that breaches organisational policy.
Some client personal mdb files are guite large, 60 - 130Gb. Using industry - standard auditing tools requires many days of CPU time breaking down the mdb file into discrete PST files for auditing purposes.
My problem is how to get just the most recent email, say over the last month or so. Is there any way to get a backup of just the most recent mail rather than the whole Exchange environment?

Thanks for your thoughts.

If your auditing tool can read .pst files, then use ExMerge to pull data out of the database. One of the options in ExMerge is to select files within a date range. Hand off those .pst files to your auditing tool.

Thanks PSC
I knew about ExMerge but not having used it was unaware that you could select a date range.
I appreciate your speedy reply.
