Chapter 1 15
The replicated storage group are represented as a new Exchange writer
instance, Exchange Replication Service. They are backed up like
original or production storage groups. Backups of the replicated storage
groups (LCR and CCR copies) are possible only using VSS.
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.
