Hi Remco,
It's difficult to see what might be going on here.
My first suggestion is to open a PMR to get the ball rolling on that.
While that is progressing, you could try to use the RESTOREFILES command:
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r4/topic/com.ibm.itsm.mail.exc.doc/dpe_ref_cmd_restorefiles.html
to get the database file and all of the transaction logs into
the directory of choice. Then, make sure there are no gaps
in the sequence of log files.
At that point, your Exchange admins probably know how
to create a recovery database and point to the
restored files to get the database recovered and mounted.
You shouldn't need to do this normally, but I was giving
you something to try while the PD was being done for the real restore.
I hope this helps.
Thank you,
Del
