After repairing the database (the last resort!!) - all attachments have been lost. This is not what is concerning me as they can be restored from backup tape.

However, we are upgrading to new server and to new exchange 2003. Will it be possible to restore these from backup tape once the upgrade has taken place?

My concern is that if I do a full restore now for each user, I will run out of space on the drive (hence the upgrade) and the database will fall over again.

Thanks in advance.
 
You can't restore after an upgrade - the DBs are different...
