The following configuration is required for the Exchange Server when you use Instant Recovery:
The volume(s) that contains the Exchange databases should be dedicated to Exchange only. Other types of databases (for example, SQL Server) should not reside on the volume(s). Only Exchange objects are included in a snapshot backup.
To allow volume rollback to occur during a restore, a volume should contain the database files for only one database.
Transaction logs or Exchange system files should
not reside on the same volume as the Exchange database file
(.edb
).
(Exchange 2007) Restore all databases in a storage group at the same time. Also restore the all the databases before the transaction logs are committed and the databases are mounted. Transaction logs are committed at a storage group level, rather than at a database level.
