How to Restore Exchange Mail on a VMware Virtual Machine

Each time Arcserve UDP performs a successful backup, a point-in-time snapshot image of your backup is created (recovery point). This collection of recovery points allows you to locate and specify exactly which backup image you want to restore. If at a later time, you suspect any of the backed up information is missing, corrupted, or not reliable, you can locate and restore from a previous known good version. For Exchange Mail backup you can browse the recovery points and locate the individual objects (mailboxes, mailbox folders, or mail) that you want to restore.
