Restoring storage groups or storage group databases from a streaming backup
This topic describes how to restore storage groups or databases.
Note:
A restore of Exchange Server files always overwrites any existing files. For example, if Pub.edb already exists on the target computer, it is replaced with the copy from the backup.
To restore storage groups or storage group databases from a streaming backup
- Log onto the server as Administrator.
- Dismount all Exchange databases that need to be restored.
Or, when you perform the restore, click the Dismount database prior to restore option.
- 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:
The server that performed the restore.
For the policy type, select MS-Exchange-Server.
From the NetBackup History pane, select one of the following:
The last full backup
The last full backup and all subsequent differential backups
The last full backup and the last cumulative backup
- A full backup of an Exchange database includes the database transaction log files. When you restore a database, you must also restore the transaction log files.
In the All Folders pane, select the objects you want to restore:
Storage groups.
Expand Microsoft Information Store and click the storage group to restore.
Individual databases.
To restore an individual database within a specific storage group, expand Microsoft Information Store, then the storage group, and click the database.
- Click Actions > Restore.
- Select the restore options you want.
- If you chose to restore the backups individually, uncheck Commit after last backup set is restored for the full and all but the last incremental backup.
When you restore the last incremental backup set, check Commit after last backup set is restored and Mount database after restore.
- Click Start Restore.
- If you restored storage groups and did not click Mount database after restore (after the restore), be sure to mount the storage group databases that were restored.
