Restoring a Mailbox Database/Storage Group with Volume Restore

WARNING!

DO NOT perform a volume restore if multiple mailbox database/storage groups

(or any data files) share any volumes. Data files suffixes are: .LOG and .EDB.

To determine how or whether your mailbox database/storage groups 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/storage groups
and/or data files, the operation deletes all mailbox database/storage group 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/storage group. The mailbox
database/storage group is now restored.
