Specify the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Database

CA ARCserve D2D lets you browse recovery points to locate individual objects within an Microsoft Exchange database to perform granular restore. You can either select restore to the original location or restore to a different location option. The Microsoft Exchange Server recovery can only be made using the Restore by Recovery Point method.

Follow these steps:

1. From the CA ARCserve D2D home page (or CA ARCserve D2D Monitor), select Restore.

   The restore methods selection dialog opens.

2. Click the Restore Exchange Mails option.

   The Restore Exchange Mails dialog opens.

   

3. Navigate to the Microsoft Exchange mailbox database that you want to restore:
   1. Specify the backup location. You can either specify a location or browse to the location where your backup images are stored. If necessary, enter the Username and Password credentials to gain access to that location. You can click the green arrow validate icon to verify proper access to the source location.

      The calendar view highlights (in green) all dates during the displayed time period that contain recovery points for that backup source.

   2. Select the calendar date for the backup image you want to restore.

      The corresponding Microsoft Exchange mailbox databases for that date are displayed, with the time of the backup, the type of backup that was performed (Full, Incremental, or Verify), and the name of the backup.

   3. Specify a Microsoft Exchange mailbox database that you want to restore and click Next.

      Note: If you did not enable the Exchange Granular Restore option during backup (no catalog generated), a notification message will be displayed asking you if you want to generate an Exchange Granular Restore catalog at this time. If you select No for generating a catalog now, you will not be able to browse to or select a granular recovery point. As a result you will only be able to perform full database restore from the Browse Recovery Points Restore dialog.

      The Restore Exchange Mails dialog is updated to display a listing of the mailbox content for the selected database.

      Note: Exchange Granular Restore supports email restores only. Calendar, Contacts, Notes and Tasks restores are not supported.
