• to a specific point in time - Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange allows
you to specify a date and time to restore your data from. Note, to be able
to restore to a specific point in time, Microsoft Exchange transaction logs
must be backed up. Data will be restored to the time of the last created
backup before the specified time, and then transaction logs will be applied.
• from the selected backup – select this option to choose a backup from
which to restore. A list of backups will be available by clicking on the Select
from the list of backups link. Choose the backup you want to restore
from and click OK.
To use special recovery modes, enable the corresponding parameter and select
Acronis Active Restore or Dial tone recovery.
Select Dial tone recovery in order to recover e-mail service in the first place, this will
enable users to send and receive e-mail while all other data is being restored. You can
use dial tone recovery only while restoring data from the latest backup. Dial tone
recovery may be used only with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 (see 8.6 for details).
Restart an e-mail application after the restoration process is completed to bring data to
up-to-date state.
To overwrite previously created dial tone databases generated by third-party tools,
select the corresponding check box. This step eliminates the need to delete the old
databases manually.
After selecting the appropriate option click Next to continue.
8.1.7 Content Selection
Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange restores information stores and separate storage
groups. Select a database server from the tree in the left pane.
Restoring Information Stores
Choose an information store to restore. Information about this item will be displayed
on the right. Note, only databases, which existed before creating a full backup, will be
displayed. Newly created databases cannot be restored only from storage groups’
transaction logs. In terms of this, we recommend you to create full backups after new
databases are created.
Important! While restoring an information store, e-mail service will not be
available, i.e. users will not be able to send and receive e-mails.
Restoring Storage Groups
Choose the storage group to restore.
You can restore storage groups to its original location, choose another storage group
as a new location or restore to Recovery Storage Group (in this case only one storage
group can be restored).
