    I ran an offiline defragmentation of our databases this weekend. Because of space issues, I had to copy the .edb and .stm to another server. After the defrag finished, I copied the database back to the Exchange server and mounted it.
    Their must have been some corruption in the file copy though, because all messages from Friday afternoon were blank. I could see the subject/sender, but the message body was blank. During this time, all our spooled mail from Saturday and Sunday was delivered.
I took the store offline again, and recopied the .edb and.stm files from the defrag server. I left the new transaction logs on our Exchange server alone.     Now all the messages from Friday are fine (no corruption), but messages from Saturday and Sunday are not showing up. They must be in the transaction logs I would think, but Exchange is not seeing them.
    Is there anyway to get these transaction logs into the database? The restore happened last night, so quite a bit of mail has been delivered since then.

Thanks.
