HP Application Recovery Manager software Integration guide (March 2008)

Restore
With Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 writer you can restore your data not only to
the original location (from where the backup was performed) but also to a different
location. You can restore:
• A whole storage group (including LCR or CCR copies)
• A single store (including LCR or CCR copies)
You can restore them to:
• Original storage group
• Different storage group
• Non-Exchange location. After restore is completed, Recovery Storage Group
(RSG) can be created automatically.
• Recovery server (different client and different storage group)
If you perform restore to a different storage group, you can access single mailboxes
or individual mails on an alternate location without the need to compromise the
original storage group with a potentially unsuccessful restore operation. Also, if the
whole server is destroyed, a restore to an alternate Exchange server (recovery server)
will minimize downtime of your mailboxes.
