Complete the appropriate fields on the Restoration Manager.

Replication Set—The name of the replication set.

Restore To—The source where the data will be restored to.

Disable Only if backup copy is more recent. This option must be disabled because if the

services were stopped on the source after the time they were stopped on the target, the source

files will have a more recent date and time and the target files will not be restored.

14.

Identify the correct drive mappings for the data and any other restoration options necessary. For

detailed information on the restoration options, see the Storage Mirroring

User's Guide.

15.

On the Orphans tab, select to move or delete orphan files on the source. Orphan files,

such as out-dated transaction logs, may keep the database from starting on the source. For

more information about orphan files, see the Storage Mirroring

User’s Guide.

Verify that the selections you have made are correct and click Restore. The restoration

procedure time will vary depending on the amount of data that you have to restore.

appear in the right pane.

Continue to

Re-enabling protection

on page 11-7 to complete the restoration process.

Rehoming the Exchange objects to the source

After the restoration is complete, you will need to run the Exchange Failover utility

(

exchfailover.exe

) to rehome the informational store databases to the source. For more

information about using the Exchange Failover utility, see

Using the Exchange Failover (EFO)

Utility

on page G-1.

1.

From a command prompt on the source, run the

post_restore_<source server

name>_<target server name>.bat

file that Application Manager automatically generated.

2.

Restart any Outlook clients so that they can access the source.

To re-establish protection of the Exchange data on the source, create a replication set, re-establish

the Storage Mirroring connection to the target, and begin failure monitoring as documented earlier

in the procedure.
If DNS failover was selected, the clients will have to wait for the IP cache to expire, or type in

ipconfig /flushdns

” in a command window. This time can be adjusted by lowering the TTL

(Time to Live) setting within your DNS server’s configuration. For more information, refer to your DNS

server documentation.
