[Backup Exec 2010 R3 ]How to Restore a mailbox to a different database In Exchange Server?

You can restore it to any database even if the original database does not exist. You can create a test mailbox and use Microsoft Exchange Redirection option to restore to that particular test mailbox.

Thanks

Thank you for the reply!

I am about to create the restore job using this article as guide:http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH74537

I will reply with the outcome.

Perfect article to explain redirect restore.

Thanks

Hi,

I just ran the restore job but we failed to notice the hard drive of the Exchange Server was low on disk space. The good thing is that the hard drive is a virtual hard drive, so we will expand it and try again.

. I think you are trying to restore from a tape. When you restore from a tape the entire Exchange database is first staged to the local drive and then the restore happens. The default location for staging is C:\Temp

Thanks

If you are restoring from tape, you might want to duplicate the backup set from tape to disk first.  This way you can direct the backup set to a disk with more disk space.  After the duplication, you can do your restore from the disk backup set and thus avoid the staging from tape.

Thank you for the information!

When I redirect do C:\Temp, can I, instead, use a network share to use as a container for the database restore?

Do you have an article, or something similar, on duplicating a backup set from tape to a disk?

Thank you very much for your help!

You can not set a staging location to anetwork share. But you can duplicate the backup set to a network share.

. Create a Backup to disk folder at the location where you want to duplicate thejob

. Go to job setup- backups and then new job to duplicate backup set

. Select existing backup and then select the backup set you want to duplicate.

. In destination select the backup to disk folder which you created.

. Once the duplicate is completed then go to the devices tab

. Highlight Backup to Disk folder. Right click on IMG folder and then select restore.

Thanks

Thank you very much for your reply!

can the destination be a network share in this duplicate job?

Yes.
