darren97 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hi Is it possible to restore priv and pub files to a folder to use 3rd party tools to query the data. The reason I ask is that we backup a small business server, in the event of the hardware failing etc and therefore not having a recovery storage group to restore to we would end up using Ontrack or something to query the databases and extract the data to pst. I know we can do mailbox backups and we are doing that too, but I would like to know if the above is possible. Thanks Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 you can restore the data back to a mailbox using the restore mailbox option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren97 Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 so if the original exchange server is dead I can restore the data back to a newly built exchange servers mailboxes? I probably didnt word the original question properly. If the small business server dies, what are my reovery options? In the absence of the server I obviously cant recover to a recovery storage group, are you saying that I can restore mailbox data to mailboxes on a different exchange server?
