Redirecting an Exchange standalone server snapshot backup to another database or to the recovery database (RDB)
This topic describes how to redirect a snapshot backup of an Exchange standalone server to another database or the recovery database (RDB).
To redirect an Exchange standalone server snapshot backup to the recovery database
- The database or the recovery database must already exist.
To restore to the RDB, create the RDB on an Exchange server, if necessary. Leave the RDB 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
To restore to the RDB on a different server, change the destination client to the Exchange server that hosts the RDB. This client must be the Exchange server that hosts the database to which you want to redirect the restore. Also review the notes and limitations for redirecting to a different client.
To restore to the RDB or to a database on 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 Microsoft Information Store.
- Select the database you want to restore.
- Click Actions > Restore.
- In the Restore Marked Files dialog box, click the General tab.
- Change the destination path to another database or to the RDB:
Select Restore everything to a different location.
In the Destination box, provide the name of the alternate database you want to restore to. Or provide the name of the RDB you previously created.
Exchange does not automatically redirect a database to its RDB, if it exists.
- 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.
- Click Start Restore.
