• If the primary volume drive is being opened from an external computer, exit the application

opening the drive.

• The primary volume might have been opened by a memory-resident monitoring program. If

this is the case, stop the monitoring program.

If Management Studio has been used to view the database to be restored, use Enterprise Manager
to detach from the database or exit Management Studio before the restoration.

Match the configuration (drive name and path) of the restoration target SQL Server database with
that used to create a replica to help ensure a successful restoration. If they do not match, the res-
toration will fail.

When a database is restored, the owner of the database is changed to the user who performed
the restoration. To change the owner of the database back to the original owner, use Management
Studio to attach the database again or use the system stored procedure

sp_changedbowner

.

For a non-cluster configuration, make sure that no files or directories in the primary volume are
being used by other applications.

If you execute either of the following operations using the

ESEUTIL

utility, the database signature

is changed and you will no longer be able to execute a roll-forward restore for replicas created
prior to executing the command:
• Repairing an information store using

ESEUTIL /p

• Defragmentation using

ESEUTIL /d

If you have executed these operations, use the Create Replica Wizard to recreate the replicas of
the Exchange database.

When using Snapshot/Fast Snap, you cannot back up to tape using Replication Manager. Use
another backup product to back up (to tape) an Exchange database that is on the primary volume.

When using Snapshot/Fast Snap, check the free capacity of the data pool during the restore. You
should periodically check the data pool and increase the capacity as necessary.

In a cluster environment, when restoring data in a physical node different from that used during
backup, an Exchange virtual server that uses the same shared disk as that used during backup
must be running. Replication Manager cannot restore data for an Exchange virtual server, such
as one at a remote site, that uses a disk different from the one used during backup.

While restoring a replica, do not open the physical disk resource property of the cluster adminis-
trator screen. If a property is opened, the restore may fail.
