Point-in-time restore
For a point-in-time restore, both active and the passive copies must be restored to the same point
in time or you must manually perform a full re-seed for passive copies. To avoid a full re-seed of
passive copies, you must restore the active and passive copies from the same backup copy.
1. Dismount the database using the Exchange Management Console.
2. Right click the database that you want to restore and open the Properties window. In the
Maintenance page, select This database can be overwritten by a restore. See
Figure 1.
3. Suspend the database replication.
4. Restore the active copy. See Restoring an active copy.
When selecting the database backup copy to be used for restore, right click the database
and select Properties.
Select the point in time to which to restore the active copy.

backup copy that was used for the active copy, right click the database, and select
Properties. Select the same point in time as was selected for the active copy.
6. Mount the active database using the Exchange Management Console.
7. Resume the replication.

Use the standard instant recovery procedure as described in the VSS chapter of the HP Data
Protector ZDB integration guide. For general prerequisites and conditions (dismounting the
Microsoft Exchange Server databases, suspending the replication, etc.), see Restore scenarios.
