Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 recovery specifics
Exchange Server 2007 offers additional restore option:
• Restore to a different location than the location from where the backup was made
(original location).
The following restore scenarios are supported:
• Restore of a whole storage group or individual stores to the original location.
• Restore of LCR and CCR copies (their storage groups or individual stores) to the
original database.
• Restore of a whole storage group (including LCR or CCR copies) or individual
stores to a different location:
• Restore to a different storage group
Data can be restored to a different storage group. Exchange Server can then
replay the restored logs to bring the restored database up to date. 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.
• Restore to a non-Exchange location
Data can be restored to a non-Exchange location. Once the data is restored,
it is not managed by Exchange Server.
• Restore to a non-Exchange location and creating Recovery Storage Group
(RSG)
Data can be restored to a non-Exchange location and after that a Recovery
Storage Group can be created for the databases. Exchange Server recognizes
the Recovery Storage Group created by Application Recovery Manager, which
is called AppRM RSG.
• Restore to Recovery Server
If a whole Exchange Server system is unusable, then the whole storage group
can be restored to some other Exchange Server system (Recovery Server) and
some other storage group. If the target system is identical to original (the same
host name, storage groups names, stores names, and the same directory
structure), restore can be started as normal restore to original location. If there
are differences, then restore to a different location must be used.
To restore to a different location, right-click the storage group or store or logs to
be restored and click Restore as. Select the target location for all the components
you want to restore.
