Restore MS Exchange Scenario to Master Machine

When restoring backup data from a MS Exchange scenario to the Master server, the mailbox store is not automatically dismounted before the restore and mounted after the restore job is finished. You will need to perform the following procedure to restore an Exchange Storage Group to the Master server.

Restore an MS Exchange scenario to the Master server

1. From the Exchange Management Console, individually dismount each database in the storage group that you are restoring.

   All databases in the storage group are dismounted.

2. Access the Microsoft Exchange Server Mailbox folder(s) and delete all storage group files from the folder.

   All storage group files are deleted.

   Note: If enough free disk space is available on your server, you can rename the folder instead of deleting the contents and then delete it after the restore job is successful.

3. Perform the restore to the Master server (using the Restore by Session, Restore by Tree, or Restore by Query method).
4. When the restore is successfully completed, return to the Exchange Management Console and mount each database in the storage group that was just restored.
