Document Level Restore Locations

When restoring a Document Level backup, you can restore the files to their original location (default) or you can restore the files to an alternative location. Use the Restore files to their original location option only when you want to restore the exact location you backed up from and the hierarchy of the server has not changed. For all other scenarios, you must restore files to an alternative location.

Examples: When You Can Restore to an Alternative Location

Some examples of when to restore to an alternative location include:

• If you want to restore a document to a different folder or mailbox on the same server that you backed up from
• If you want to restore a document to a different folder or mailbox on a different server than the server you backed up from
• If you want to merge a mailbox
• If you want to migrate a mailbox
• If you renamed storage groups or mailbox stores
