Perform a Brick Level Data Restore

Use the following procedure to restore data that was backed up using a version of the agent that supported brick level backup.

To restore brick level backup data

1. From the Arcserve Backup Home Page, select Restore from the Quick Start menu.

   The Restore Manager window opens.

2. From the Restore Manager window, select Restore by Tree in the drop-down box underneath the Source tab.
3. Expand the server you are restoring from, expand the Microsoft Exchange Server – Brick Level object, and select the folders that you want to restore.

   Be aware of the following behaviors:

   • When you select a folder, an object is displayed in the top right-pane. This represents the folder you selected to restore and all of its contents. You do not need to select this object because it is automatically selected for you.
   • Special mailboxes, such as Mail Connectors, System Attendant, Internet Mail Service, and MS Schedule+, cannot be selected for restore. These are special system mailboxes and should not be restored.
4. Select a Recovery Point session to restore.
5. Choose a restore option. To do this, right-click Microsoft Exchange - Brick Level, select Agent Option, select a restore option, and click OK. For more information about restore options, see Brick Level Restore Options.
6. Click the Destination tab. You can restore folders to their original location (default) or you can restore the folders to an alternative location (includes restoring a folder to a different mailbox on the same or different server).
7. If you want to restore to an alternative location, remove the check mark from the Restore files to their original locations check box, verify MS Windows System is selected in the Destination field, expand the Windows Systems object (if you do not have the Universal Agent installed, expand the Network object), expand the server you want to restore to, expand the Microsoft Exchange Server – Brick Level object, and select where you want to restore to.
8. Click Submit.

   The Session User Name and Password dialog opens.

9. When the Session User Name and Password dialog opens, verify or change the user name and password for the destination Exchange Server. To change the user name or password, select the session, click Edit, make your changes, and then click OK.

   Note: The user name must be entered in the following format:

   Domain\Username
   

10. Click the DBAgent tab and verify or change the user name and password for the backup agent service account. This account must meet the requirements for the Exchange Server you are restoring to. For information on these requirements, see Backup Agent Service Account Requirements for Brick Level Restore.

    Note: The user name must be entered in the following format:

    Domain\Username
    

11. Click OK.
12. When the Submit Job dialog opens, select Run Now to run the job immediately, or select Run On and select a future date and time when you want the job to run.

    Enter a description for your job and click OK.

    The brick level restore job is submitted.
