Restoring an Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2003 streaming backup to a recovery storage group

NetBackup supports restores to the recovery storage group. With streaming backups, you do not need to redirect the restore as long as the RSG already exists and is added for the selected storage group and database(s). The restore automatically is restored to the recovery storage group.

For further instructions, refer to the following information on recovery storage groups on Microsoft's Technet site:

Exchange 2003

To restore an Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2003 streaming backup to a recovery storage group

  1. Create the RSG on the target Exchange Server, if necessary.

  2. (Exchange 2007) Dismount all Exchange databases you want to restore.

    Or, when you perform the restore, click the Dismount database prior to restore option.

  3. Confirm that the RSG databases are not mounted.

  4. Open the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface.

  5. Click File > Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type.

  6. In the Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type dialog box, provide the following information:

    Policy type for restores

    Select MS-Exchange-Server.

    Destination clients for restores

    If you want to restore to a different server, change the destination client to the Exchange server that holds the RSG.

    If you want to restore to the local server, leave the destination client the same as the source client.

  7. Click File > Select Files and Folders to Restore > from Normal Backup.

  8. From the NetBackup History pane, select one of the following:

    • The last full backup

    • The last full backup and all subsequent differential backups

    • The last full backup and the last cumulative backup

  9. In the All Folders pane, click the objects you want to restore:

    • A storage group

      Expand the Microsoft Information Store node and click the storage group to restore.

    • Individual databases

      To restore an individual database within a specific storage group, expand the Microsoft Information Store, then the storage group, and click the database.

    A full backup of an Exchange database includes the database transaction log files. When you restore a database, you must also restore the transaction log files.

  10. Click Actions > Restore.

  11. To restore the backups individually, click Commit after last backup set is restored and Mount database after restore when you restore the last incremental backup set.

  12. Select the other restore options you want.

  13. (Optional) If wanted, click the General tab and change the destination path to the RSG name.

    The destination path does not need to be changed even though the RSG is a different name than the original storage group. The ESE engine automatically redirects the restore to the proper location.

  14. Click Start Restore.

  15. If you chose to restore storage groups and you did not click Mount database after restore (after the restore), mount the storage group databases that were restored.
