2. Perform a point-in-time recovery for volume restore: step 1 to step 4 .
3. With the Exchange database(s) dismounted, preserve the current log files on your mailbox
database volumes if you were not able to do so for
step 1 .
4. After you have taken all the disk(s) out of maintenance mode, perform the following:
a.
Copy the .LOG files that you preserved and overwrite the logs recovered, including the
extra logs not covered by the virtual copy. This process makes the recovery more
forward-in-time.
b. Delete the checkpoint file (.CHK).
c. Remount the database(s) to continue.
The Exchange server performs a soft recovery and automatically replays the log. After
the store is mounted, Recovery Manager confirms the restore.
Data Restoration Using a Recovery Database (For Exchange 2010)
A recovery database is a mailbox database that allows Recovery Manager to mounting a restored
mailbox database and extract data from the restored database as part of the recovery operation.
Recovery databases allow you to recover data from a backup or a copy of a database without
disrupting access to current data. Use the Restore-Mailbox cmdlet to extract mailbox content from
a restored database.
The following are required to restore data using a recovery database:
•
A recovery database must be created.
•
Recovery databases can only be used for Exchange 2010 mailbox databases.
•
The target mailbox used for data merges and extraction must be in the same Active Directory
forest as the database mounted in the recovery database.
•
The database and .LOG files containing the recovered data must be restored or copied into
the recovery database folder structure that was created when the recovery database was
created.
•
The database must be in a clean shutdown state. Use the Eseutil.exe tool to put the
database into a clean shutdown state.
Creating a Recovery Database
To create a recovery database:
1.
Start the Exchange Management Shell by clicking Start
→Program Files→Exchange→Exchange
Management Shell.
2. In the Exchange Management Shell window, enter the following:
New-MailboxDatabase -Recovery -Name <rec_database> -Server <servername>
•
<rec_database> — The name of the recovery database being created
•
<servername> — The name of the mailbox server
