Recovering Data with Manual Restore

In the following sections, manual steps are available for performing a point-in-time and point-of-failure
restoration of data.

Point-in-Time Recovery

(For Exchange 2010) Recovery procedures for Exchange 2010 Database Availability Group (DAG)
configurations should be run on the active copy of the mailbox database

(For Exchange 2007) Recovery procedures for LCR or CCR Exchange 2007 configurations should
be run on the active copy of the database (the active node for CCR).

Use the point-in-time recovery manual steps for cases involving Single Copy Cluster (SCC).

Use the following manual steps to perform a point-in-time recovery:
1.

In the Exchange Management Console, right-click the desired database you want to recover
and select Properties.

2.

Under the General tab, select This database can be overwritten by a restore.

3.

Click OK.

4.

On the Database Management tab in the Exchange Management Console, right-click the
mailbox database you want to recover and select Dismount Database.

NOTE:

If in a cluster, go to the Cluster Administrator and take the Exchange Information

Store Instance resource offline. If not in a cluster, go to the services menu and stop the Exchange
Information Store Service.

5.

Mount the desired virtual copy to the staging Exchange server either from the Recovery Manager
GUI or from the command line using the RMExch mount command. For more information,
see

“Using the Recovery Manager GUI” (page 33)

or

“Using the Recovery Manager CLI”

(page 57)

.

6.

Delete the original .EDB, .LOG, and .CHK files for a clean restore.

CAUTION:

ONLY remove the files, NOT the parent/intermediate folders for these files. The

original database path and its structures must be kept the same.

7.

Delete all catalog subdirectories under your database directories. You can move these files
to new locations instead of deleting them.

8.

From the backup server, execute the Recovery Manager file copy restore command:

nl

(For Exchange 2010) RMExch restore -mdb <mailbox_DB_name> -t <timestamp>
-filecopy

nl

(For Exchange 2007) RMExch restore -s <exchangeServer> -g <storageGroup>
-t <timestamp> -filecopy

.

nl

You can alternately use the GUI to perform a file copy restore (for more information, see

“Using the Recovery Manager GUI” (page 33)

).
