3. Select the appropriate options as follows:

   Redirect Exchange sets	Check Redirect Exchange sets to enable the Restore to server and Server logon account fields.
   Restore to server	Enter the name of the computer to which you are restoring, using the format \\server name.
   Server logon account	Use a Backup Exec logon account that stores the credentials of a Windows user account. The default logon account is displayed by default. To use another logon account, click Change. See Exchange mailbox access requirements.

   Redirect to Storage Group and Database (Exchange 2007 only)	Click this option to enable the Restore to Database and Restore to Storage Group fields.
   Restore to Storage Group	Type the name of an existing storage group. Use this option when you want to redirect the restore of one or more Exchange 2007 databases to a different storage group. (Exchange 2007 only)
   Restore to Database	Type the name of a Exchange 2007 database that you want to restore. Use this option when you want to redirect the restore of a single Exchange 2007 database.(Exchange 2007 only) When you redirect a database restore, the storage group and database names you specify must already exist on the destination Exchange server.
   Redirect to Recovery Storage Group (RSG) (Exchange 2007 only)	Click this option to redirect the restore of an Exchange mailbox database to a recovery storage group. You can use a recovery storage group and the Exchange 2003 or 2007 Mailbox Merge Wizard to help you restore individual user mailbox data. To use this option, you must create a recovery storage group. You must also create, within the recovery storage group, a database for each database you plan to restore. Each database you create in the recovery storage group must use the same name as the database that you want to restore. During a redirected restore operation, the Exchange Agent automatically detects and uses the recovery storage group. For more information on recovery storage groups, see your Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 documentation.

   Redirect mailbox sets	Click this option to enable the redirection of mailbox backup sets.
   Restore to mailbox	Enter the name of the mailbox to which you are redirecting this restore. The mailbox must already exist on the target server.
   Mailbox logon account	Enter a logon account that has rights to the target mailbox. To select a logon account, click Change. To clear an existing logon account, click Clear.

4. Start the redirected restore job or select other restore options from the Properties pane.

5. If you are restoring Exchange Server 5.5, do the following:

   • After the restore job completes, restart the destination Exchange server or start the Exchange services manually. You can also put a batch file in a post-job command to restart the services.

   • When the Exchange server is back online, run the Directory Store/Information Store (DS/IS) consistency adjuster in order to resolve any inconsistencies. Results of the consistency adjustment can be found in the Windows Event Log.

   For more information concerning the DS/IS consistency adjuster, refer to your Exchange documentation.

6. After the restore is complete, Symantec recommends that you run a full backup of the restored databases.
