rcharg Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hello, I need to recover a mailbox from the past, and unfortunately the backup of individual mailboxes was not implemented during this time. Anyway, I have a working exchange 2003 server, but need to restore a backup of the exchange database from the past and wanted to find out if it was possible to restore to the recovery storage group container instead of the main storage group so that i can pull the data from and old mailbox. If not, what are my best options? I do not want to restore over my present working storage group? Thank you for your assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 At this time Retrospect does not support the recovery storage group. http://kb.dantz.com/article.asp?article=5202&p=2 http://kb.dantz.com/article.asp?article=7926&p=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcharg Posted December 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Thank you for your reply. But i wanted to clarify, I read in the retrospect 7.5 users guide that when restoring from an exchange 2003 server, that the source storage group to be restored will be restored to the RECOVERY storage group container and not the main storage group. Is this correct? This is what I would like for it to do, since my current storage group is still good, I just need a mailbox to be restored from a past backup. Thanks again for your time and assistance. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Retrospect does NOT support the recovery storage group. All Restores of the 1st storage group back to the server will replace the 1st storage group. If you want mailboxes restored, then 1) Backup individual mailboxes and 2) use Restore>Mailboxes to restore them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ugomena Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Where does Retrospect recover the individual mailboxes to? Will it just restore items to where they were when it was originally backed up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Data gets restored to a new folder in the mailbox you have selected as the destination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
