Prerequisite Tasks for Restoring Recovery Storage Groups on Exchange Server 2003 Systems

To restore a Recovery Storage Group on Exchange Server 2003 systems using a version of the agent that pre-dates Arcserve Backup r12 (for example, BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5), you must perform the steps that follow before you submit the restore job.

1. From the Backup Agent Restore Options dialog, clear the check mark next to the options that follow:
   • Automatically dismount database before restore
   • Allow database to be overwritten by restore
2. On the Exchange Server system, create a Recovery Storage Group.

   Add the mailbox databases that you want to restore to the Recovery Storage Group.

   Dismount the newly created database in the Recovery Storage Group.

   Right-click the newly created database and click Properties on the pop-up menu.

   The <Mailbox_Name> Database Properties dialog opens.

3. Click the Database tab and ensure that This database can be overwritten by restore is specified.

After you complete the above steps, you can restore the Recovery Storage Group.
