Redirecting an Exchange 2007 snapshot backup to the recovery storage group
This topic describes how to redirect an Exchange 2007 snapshot backup to the recovery storage group (RSG). With snapshot backups, you do not need to redirect a restore to the RSG as long as the RSG already exists and is added for the selected storage group and database(s). The restore is automatically restored to the RSG.
Note:
To successfully redirect to the RSG, in Exchange you must configure the same path for the
and the . For an existing RSG, remove the RSG and recreate it.For further instructions, refer to the following information on recovery storage groups on Microsoft's Technet site:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997260.aspx
To redirect an Exchange 2007 snapshot backup to the recovery storage group
- The RSG must already exist. Create the RSG and the databases you want to recover on an Exchange server, if necessary. Leave the RSG dismounted.
- Open the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface.
- Click File > Select Files and Folders to Restore > from Normal Backup.
- Click File > Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type.
- In the Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type dialog box, provide the following information:
Server to use for backups and restores
Select the server that performed the restore.
Destination clients for restores
If you want to restore to a different server, change the destination client to the Exchange server that hosts the RSG. Also review the notes and limitations for redirecting to a different client.
If you want to restore the RSG to the local server, leave the destination client the same as the source client.
Policy type for restores
Select MS-Exchange-Server.
- From the NetBackup History pane, select one of the following:
The last full backup, or
The last full backup and all subsequent differential backups, or
The last full backup and the last cumulative backup
- In the All Folders pane, expand the Microsoft Information Store.
- Select the storage group you want to restore.
- Click Actions > Restore.
- Click the Microsoft Exchange tab.
- Check Commit after last backup set is restored.
If you choose to restore backup images separately, you must check Commit after last backup set is restored only when you restore the last incremental backup set.
If you do not select Commit after last backup set is restored, manually mount the database after the restore is complete.
- Check Redirect to Recovery Storage Group (RSG) (Only for Exchange 2007).
- Click Start Restore.
