Troubleshooting Exchange restore operations
Review the following information to troubleshoot any issues with Exchange restore operations:
Event ID 2059 is logged after a successful restore.
If you restore a backup which included only uncommitted logs, Exchange may report an error similar to the following:
Event Type: Error Event Source: MSExchangeRepl Event Category: Service Event ID: 2059
Refer to the following article for information on how to resolve this issue:
A restore of an Exchange database that contains a bracket in the name may fail.
A restore of an Exchange database that contains a bracket in the name (for example, Exch_DB[Sales]), may fail if you select multiple images in the left pane of the Backup, Archive, and Restore (BAR) interface. To work around this issue, select the images to be restored one at a time.
An Exchange mailbox operation with bprestore has a status 5 error.
If you start an Exchange mailbox restore operation with the bprestore command and encounter a status 5 error, check that the path is correct. The bplist command does not properly escape the "[" and "]" characters.
For example, bplist returns the following path for a mailbox:
/Microsoft Information Store/SG1/Mailbox1/backrest100 [backrest100]/
Instead, edit the path so it appears as follows:
/Microsoft Information Store/SG1/Mailbox1/backrest100 \[backrest100\]/
Note:
For VMware backups and restores, you need only configure the systems that browse for backups and the destination client that is used for restores. This configuration is not needed to capture the data during backups of the virtual machine.
Concurrent restores of multiple storage groups
When you use multiple backup streams, for example, one stream for each storage group, only the last storage group restored in the last restore job is properly mounted. Recovery of the remaining storage groups is not complete.
Take one of these corrective actions:
If you want to restore from a snapshot backup, mount the unmounted storage groups.
If you want to restore from a legacy (non-snapshot) backup, restore the logs from the last backup set for each storage group individually.
To avoid these steps, you can also restore the storage groups individually in separate restore operations.
