BE2012 B2D Exchange 2007 GRT restore empty
I've been having some trouble lately with the GRT enabled backups on my exchange 2007 box. The backups are successful (backup to disk), the index and catalog report successful but when I go to restore, there's nothing under the storage group.
I've tried splitting the OS backup from the mail store backup, changing the location of the GRT folders to different spindles, different logon accounts, updating the agent, manually recataloging ... nothing seems to work.
To make this more confusing and also to verify that I have things setup correctly, the second storage group which is much smaller and used for public folders can see exchange data to restore randomly.
Things I haven't tried, reinstalling BE2012, copying backup files to another BE2012 server and cataloging (if that's possible).
I've been letting this slide but a user deleted a bunch of email and we need to pull from backup. My options are to get this working or restore to a recovery group and copy the files out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Hello,
Do you have a Backup Exec mailbox that is active ( at least one message sent and recieved) and not hidden from the GAL?
Look over this document and make sure you have all the requirements to restore in place http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH51740
Do you see an IMG folder inside your storage device?
If yes cut the VDB.txt and VDB folder to the desktop
Reinventory the backup to disk folder
Catalog the backup to disk folder
Check if you see the restore selections
dibiddle,
Yes, you should run an inventory and then catalog.
