Precautions on recovery storage groups and recovery databases

If you are using Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007 as the database management
system, do not specify a recovery storage group when specifying a storage group. If you are using
Exchange Server 2010 or Exchange Server 2013 as the database management system, do not specify
a recovery database when specifying a database.

Precautions when configuring volumes

When reverting a database (executing the

drmexgrestore

command without the

-recovery

option specified) during online backup, set up the volume as follows:

Set the same RAID Manager group name for volumes that contain data files (

*.edb

and

*.stm

)

transaction log files (

*.log

) and checkpoint files (

*.chk

).

Precautions on database verification

Use the

drmexgverify

or

EX_DRM_EXG_VERIFY

command to verify the integrity of the data that

was backed up by using the

drmexgbackup

or

EX_DRM_EXG_BACKUP

command, online, or by

using VSS. During online backup, the

drmexgverify

and

EX_DRM_EXG_VERIFY

commands verify

the integrity of the Exchange database (

*.edb

files) only, and not that of the Exchange streaming

database (

*.stm

files). This means that even if the

drmexgverify

command successfully terminates

the verification, the Exchange streaming database might have been corrupted. In this case, the backup
data might not be able to be restored.

Backing up and restoring data between volumes without using
VSS

This section describes how to back up and restore data between the primary and secondary volumes
without using VSS.

System configuration

In a configuration that uses only one server, you use commands to back up and restore data between
the primary volume and secondary volume. Application Agent must be installed on the database
server in order to execute commands.

The following figure shows a system configuration for backing up and restoring data between volumes.
This system configuration can be used when Exchange Server 2003 is used.
