Restoring a Mailbox from a Backup to a Recovery Server
To restore a mailbox from backup, you must have a recovery server that has sufficient storage
capacity to install Exchange Server and to restore the private information store database. This
server can be on the same physical network as your production Exchange Server computer.
To restore a mailbox from a backup to a recovery server:
1.
Take note of the following information that is on the production Exchange Server computer:
•
Organization Name
•
Administrative Group Name
•
Storage Group Name
2.
On the recovery server, install the Windows Server operating system, and then create a new
Active Directory forest.
3.
Run Exchange Server Setup and create a new organization that uses the same name as your
existing Exchange organization.
