8.3 Restoring Individual E-mails
In addition to restoring storage groups and mailboxes, Acronis Recovery for MS
Exchange can restore individual e-mails.
Start the e-mail restoration process by clicking on the restore operation icon in the
Tools group.
8.3.1 Selecting a Backup Location
To view available storage groups and mailboxes select the appropriate backup location
by clicking the Select location… link or specify the path to it manually in the Backup
location field.
You can also select specific Acronis backup locations (such as Acronis Backup Server).
The following resources may also be selected as backup locations:
• Entire disk or disk folder
• Network share, SAN, NAS
• FTP
• Tapes, Autoloaders, Tape Libraries
• Acronis Backup Server
8.3.2 Selecting a Backup Task and Point to Restore
If several backup tasks use the same location to store archives, you have to select the
task you want to restore from. Click the Select task… link to choose the backup task
and a point to restore e-mails to.
The left pane will display a list of available tasks. A selected task’s comments will be
displayed on the right.
Below you have to select to which state you want to restore e-mails.
Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange offers four ways for restoring your data:
• At the moment of failure – e-mails will be restored to the state at the
point of failure. Keep in mind, that restoring to the point of failure can take
a long time.
• At the time of the latest backup – choosing this option will restore your
e-mails to the state when the last backup was created. So restoration to the
latest backup will be faster, than restoration to the point of failure.
• On the following date - Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange allows you to
specify a date and time to restore your e-mails from.
• At the time of the following 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.
After selecting the appropriate option click OK to return to the E-mail Restoration
window.
