best strategy to resync calendar?

[Arthur Black <Arthur.Black@Eng>]

My pilot had been out of comission for several weeks, but is now functioning.  I 
am trying to figure out the best strategy to get the pilot's calendar back in 
sync with my CDE calendar.  The two SyncCM approaches I've tried have both 
caused loss of data on my CDE calendar.

FIRST ATTEMPT
Full merge:  result was a massive loss of data on my Desktop calendar
04/08/98 13:21:19   6 records were created on Desktop calendar
                    9 records were deleted on Desktop calendar
                    340 duplicate records were removed on Desktop calendar
                    30 records were created on the Pilot
                    347 duplicate records were removed on the Pilot
                    97 duplicate records were merged on both sides

At this point I called our local network support desk and they were able to 
restore my calendar.

SECOND ATTEMPT
Desktop overwrites Pilot:  result was a moderate loss of data on my Desktop 
calendar.  I was truly surprised to see a loss of desktop data when executing a 
Desktop overwrites Pilot sync.
04/08/98 16:40:52   Synchronizing using the SyncCM conduit
04/08/98 16:40:57   Using calendar 'arthurb@hsmpk12a-s1'
04/08/98 16:42:26   13 duplicate records were removed on Desktop calendar
                    375 records were created on the Pilot
                    
Another call to our local network support desk.

The schedule items that were deleted from my CDE calendar in this second attempt 
appear to have a common thread:
- repeating items that occur on a weekly basis
- each repeating item had at least one week where I had deleted it because the 
meeting had been cancelled for that specific week

thanks,
