Restoring a Mailbox Database Using a Recovery Database

You can restore a mailbox database using a recovery database by manually copying the database
files to the appropriate folder on the server.

NOTE:

Keep the original backup file in case you need to start over.

1.

Verify that the database that you want to restore is consistent and that it is in a clean shutdown
state:
a.

Open a command prompt window.

b.

Change to the ExchSrvr\Bin folder.

c.

Enter the following:

Eseutil /mh YourDatabaseName.edb

d.

Press Enter.

e.

Note whether the State line shows as State: Clean Shutdown or State: Dirty
Shutdown

.

2.

A soft recovery should have been performed immediately after the virtual copy for the database
was created. If it was not performed or if the database is not consistent and the database log
files exist, use the Eseutil.exe tool to perform a soft recovery on the database and commit
any uncommitted logs to the database:
a.

Open a command prompt window.

b.

Change to the ExchSrvr\Bin folder.

c.

Enter:

eseutil /r rnn /ddatabase_folder_path

rnn

— The log file prefix

database_folder_path

— The name of the folder where the database files (.edb,

.stm

) are located

/d

— Do not add a space after this switch

For example:

eseutil /r r00 /dc:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Recovery Storage Group"
