Specifying the server, client, and the policy type for a Exchange Server restore operation

To browse for and restore Exchange backups, specify the following items:

The master server that performed the backups
The client that was backed up, including a virtual cluster name or Database Availability Group (DAG) name
The Exchange policy type

You also can choose the destination client to which you want to restore a backup. (This type of operation is called redirecting a restore to a different client.) To redirect a restore in this way, you must have NetBackup server privileges or be logged into a server with the NetBackup Administration Console or the NetBackup Remote Administration Console.

It may not be possible to restore an Exchange database from a NetBackup client-only installation on a cluster. You may not be able to change the destination client value to match the virtual server name. In that case, use the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface on a NetBackup server. From the server you can change the destination client value to the virtual server name.

To specify the server, client, and policy type for a Exchange Server restore operation

Log onto the server as Administrator.
Open the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface.
Click File > Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type.
In the Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type dialog box, from the Server to use for backups and restores list, select the NetBackup server that performed the backup.
From the Source client for restores list, select the client.
From the Policy type for restores list, choose MS-Exchange-Server.
(Optional) To redirect a restore to a different client, from the Destination clients for restores list, select the client to which to redirect the restore.
Click OK.
