Exchange Server - exmerge to PST failed

I am running Exchange 2003 sp2 - I exported a mailbox not knowing it was over
2 gig.  The export failed and the pst is corrupt but what it did was strip
the 2 gigs from his mailbox - leaving his mailbox almost empty.  How can I
retrieve the 2 gigs that exmerge stripped out?  I have the pst file but I
cannot find any repair software that can fix it and I am in dire need to get
his info back as he is a VP.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  TIA

Restore from backup to a recovery storage group.  Use Exmerge--with
restrictions, like with date ranges--to put the data back into his mailbox.

ExMerge's 2GB PST file size limit Exchange Server PST files are no longer limited to 2GB. Is there a version of ExMerge that can accommodate larger files?

Exmerge with 2003 PST file. Exchange Server Hello all. . I have a laptop user who has a outlook 2003 PST that needs to get migrated back into our exchange server. . The problem is this user is on a 2003 PST because of the space restraint on the 2000 / 2002 which I believe was 2gb. . Yes very sure she is still over the 2gb mark. .

Sounds fine and dandy but what about the fact that my user has more info
