How to use Data Protector 6.0 or 6.10 with Exchange Recovery Storage Groups to restore a single mailbox

Notes

• The user mailboxes in a Recovery Storage Group cannot be connected to user accounts in the Active

Directory. The only supported method that can be used to access mailboxes in a Recovery Storage Group

is by using the Exchange Server 2003 version of the Exmerge.exe tool or the Exchange troubleshooting

assistant in the Exchange 2007 Server.

• In Exchange 2007, Recovery Storage Groups can no longer be managed using the Exchange

Management Console (formerly known as the Exchange System Manager). Instead, use the Exchange

Troubleshooting Assistant (ExTRA) or the Exchange Management Shell (EMS).

• The databases in a Recovery Storage Group must be manually mounted. The databases cannot be

configured to be automatically mounted.

• Only mailbox stores can be restored to a Recovery Storage Group. A public folder store cannot be

restored to a Recovery Storage Group as that operation is not supported.

• The exmerge.exe tool can move or copy mailbox data between servers regardless of the version of

Exchange Server that is running on the computers.

• When the exmerge.exe tool is used with a Recovery Storage Group, the original mailbox must still be

present in the original database and must still be connected to an Active Directory user account.

While performing a restore operation on Data Protector 6.1 on Exchange 2007 you may get the following

error:

“

[151:214] Recovery SG 'Recovery Storage Group' is configured on the Microsoft Exchange Server”

To resolve this issue, install the Site Specific Patch - SSPNT610_004.
