Restoring from a Virtual Copy

You can use either the file copy restore feature or the volume restore feature of Recovery Manager
to restore a virtual copy to its source mailbox database.

Recovery Manager can perform the restore from a mounted or an unmounted virtual copy, with
the following restrictions:

File copy restore

Mounted virtual copy

Restoring a Mailbox Database with File Copy Restore

1.

In the node tree pane, right-click the virtual copy you want to use for the restore, and select
Restore Using

→File Copy.

2.

To confirm you understand the warning, check the Click to continue checkbox.

3.

Click Ok.

Recovery Manager overwrites the mailbox database with the virtual copy. The mailbox
database is now restored.

Restoring a Mailbox Database with Volume Restore

WARNING!

DO NOT perform a volume restore if multiple mailbox databases (or any data files)

share any volumes. Data files suffixes are: .LOG and .EDB.

To determine how or whether your mailbox databases share volumes, execute the
chk_multi_storage.cmd

script. By default, this script is installed at: Program Files/3PAR/

RM/Exchange/bin

If you perform a volume restore on a volume that hosts multiple mailbox databases and/or data
files, the operation deletes all mailbox database data not contained in the promoted virtual copy.

1.

In the node tree pane, right-click the virtual copy you want to use for the restore, and select
Restore Using

→Volume.

2.

To confirm you understand the ramifications of proceeding with the restore, check the Click
to continue checkbox.

3.

Click Ok.

The virtual copy completely overwrites the mailbox database. The mailbox database is now
restored.

Restoring a Mailbox Database from a Media Backup

You can restore backups to their original location (i.e., the volume(s) or directory location of the
virtual copy that was used to create the backup, not to the original Exchange data location), or
you can specify an alternate location.
