Restoring storage groups to a primary volume
This section explains how to restore a storage group when backup data has been saved on a secondary
volume. This example restores the data from the secondary volume to the primary volume by
resynchronizing the volumes.
To restore a storage group:
1. Check the backup ID of the backup data.
To check the backup ID of the backup data used to restore it from a secondary volume to the
primary volume, execute the drmexgcat command on the database server.
DBServer> drmexgcat
STORAGEGROUP: STORAGE_1
BACKUP-ID:0000000001 BACKUP-MODE: COLD STORAGEGROUP: STORAGE_1 ORIGINAL-ID:0000000001
START-TIME:2003/06/01 17:45:36 END-TIME: 2003/06/01 17:52:36

When restoring a database or Information Store relating to a specific storage group by executing
the restoration command with the -target option specified, check the restoration target.
2. Create a backup ID record file.
Execute EX_DRM_BACKUPID_SET with the backup ID specified to create a backup ID record
file. Here, use operation ID Operation_A.
DBServer > EX_DRM_BACKUPID_SET Operation_A -backup_id 0000000001
3. Restore the data from the secondary volume to the primary volume.
Execute EX_DRM_EXG_RESTORE on the database server to restore the data from the secondary
volume to the primary volume by resynchronizing the volumes.
DBServer > EX_DRM_EXG_RESTORE Operation_A -resync
Specify operation ID Operation_A for EX_DRM_EXG_RESTORE. Application Agent acquire
information required for restoration from the operation definition file. Also, Application Agent
acquires the backup ID from the backup ID record file registered in step 2, and restores the data.
Backing up and restoring data between volumes by using VSS
This section explains how to back up and restore data between primary and secondary volumes by
using VSS. The explanations in this section use operation examples for Exchange Server 2007.
System configuration
To back up and restore data between primary and secondary volume, install Application Agent on
the database server, and then execute commands.
The following figure shows a system configuration for backing up and restoring data between volumes.
