RMExch restore
SYNTAX
For MEDIA RESTORES
RMExch restore -s <ExchangeServer> -g <storagegroup> -t <Timestamp> [-p
<policyName>] [-m <masterServer>] [-a <altLocation>] [-src
<OrignalClientWithBackups>] [-noemail] [-dp]
For FILECOPY and VOLUME RESTORES
[-noemail] [-domain <DomainName>]
DESCRIPTION
The RMExch restore command can perform one of three functions. It can restore a previously
backed-up virtual copy from media, perform a file copy restore from a mounted virtual copy, or
perform a volume restore from an unmounted virtual copy.
Media backups can be restored to their original location, that being the volume(s) or directory
locations of the virtual copies that were backed up, not the original exchange data location.
Alternatively, an alternate location can be specified.
File copy restores copy the virtual copy's files to the original database location and overwrite the
current database files. The virtual copy to use for the restore must be mounted to the production
server hosting the storage group.
Volume promote restores overwrite all data on the original database volume. This overwrites ALL
data on the original volume and should only be performed with caution.
WARNING! DO NOT perform a volume promote restore if multiple storage groups share any
volumes. This includes all data files .LOG, .EDB, .CHK (and .STM for Exchange 2003). If you are
not sure how or if your storage groups share volumes, execute the script
chk_multi_storage.cmd
, by default installed at Program Files/3PAR/RM/Exchange/
bin/ , to determine how any storage groups may be sharing volumes.
