Is it possible to restore an exchange DB that was backed up from Exchange
2000 to and Exchange 2003 server, or do I have to move each mailbox
individually?

Thanks
Tony

Is this an upgrade question or a disaster recovery question?
What *should* happen is that the DB's get updated when you move them over to
a 2003 server, if you can do that successfully (forklift upgrade basically).
Always a gamble though. Moving the users over one at a time or just
upgrading in place are often better ideas with emphasis on the previous in
terms of safety.

Have you read the disaster recovery whitepaper yet? It has a lot of really
good detail about restoring db's.

Thanks for the response, I went ahead and decided to copy each user
individualy over to make it easier and less of a hassle.
