Perform a Database Level Data Restore

To perform a database level data restore on an Exchange Server database

  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 below the Source tab.

    Note: Both Restore by Tree and Restore by Session restore methods are supported for Database Level restores.

  3. From the directory tree, do one of the following, depending on the version of Exchange Server you are running:

    Further expand the server that contains the database you backed up and select the database object.

  4. If the most recent backup is not the backup you want to restore, select a Recovery Point session to restore. Select a date and then choose a recovery point from that date.

    Note: If you are using a restore set, you must restore the entire set in the order that it was backed up. If your restore set includes incremental and differential backups, select the last incremental or differential backup in the set and the agent will automatically include the full backup for you (applies to Restore by Tree only). For more information on restore sets, see Database Level Restore Sets.

  5. Right-click each storage group object (For Exchange Server 2003, or 2007) or Database object (Exchange Server 2010/2013) you are including in this job and select Agent Option to select backup options. For more information about restore options, see Database Level Restore Options.
  6. Click the Destination tab. You can restore the database objects to their original location (default) or you can restore the database objects to an alternative location.

    Note: For Exchange Server 2003 and 2007, you can select to restore to the Recovery Storage Group, a specialized storage group you can use in addition to the regular storage groups in Exchange Server. For more information on the Recovery Storage Group, see your Exchange Server documentation.

  7. If you want to restore to an alternative location, clear the check mark from the Restore files to their original locations check box, expand the server you want to restore to, and select the destination object.
  8. Click the Submit toolbar button.

    If you are restoring to an alternative location, when the Security dialog appears, enter the user name and password for the destination server and click OK.

    Note: Arcserve Backup does not support logging in to systems with passwords that are greater than 23 characters. If the password on the system you are attempting to log in to is greater than 23 characters, you must modify the password on the agent system such that it is 23 characters or less, and then you can log in to the agent system.

  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 OK.
  11. 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.
