    ...that document was never written with B2D in mind...only duplicating a GRT backup from tape to disk, and then restoring there.

    Is this what you did? Or did you try a GRT backup to disk first and then restore?

    You do not mention your Exchange version & Backup Exec version, but did you install the Exchange Management Tools on your Backup Exec Media server ?

    Are you trying to restore just a mailbox or a complete mailbox store ?

    There are 2 ways to perform the :
    1. Restore directly from tape. Should it fail, you need to start it all over again.
    2. Restore from disk by duplicating your backup to a big enough disk.

    To restore directly from tape, you need to go to Tools --> Options --> Exchange, and you will see an entry for C:\Temp. This is where BEX will default to your IS restore. Change this to a drive that has enough space, and restore from tape.

    However, this is how I do it, and I have used it successfully a number of times:

    1. Restoring Data Using a Duplicate Copy
    This method duplicates an Exchange Information Store to the local server hard drive. The reason for using this method would be due to a large Exchange IS database size, or wanting to stage the restore once.
    Should a restore fail during normal restore process, the entire Exchange IS needs to be restaged. This will take time depending on the database’s size.
    Do the following:
    ● Check for a drive with sufficient disk space for the restore. The available space must be at least the size of the Exchange IS.
    ● On the target drive, create a folder called: Exchange Restore.
    ● Open Backup Exec, and go to Devices. Right-click Backup-to-Disk Folders, and choose: New Backup-to-Disk Folder. Give it the name: Exchange Restore, and point it to the target drive and folder. Click OK.
    ● Go to Job Setup, select the job that runs for the site, and under Backup Tasks, choose: New job to duplicate backup sets. Choose OK.
    ● Browse the server concerned, and under Microsoft Information Store, choose the Information Store you want to stage to disk.
    ● Choose the new Backup-to-Disk folder created for this purpose, and click Run Now. Let the job complete.
    ● Make a note of the name of the image created by this job (Devices  Backup-to-Disk Folders  Exchange Restore).
    ● Click the Restore tab in Backup Exec. When the “Welcome to the Restore Wizard” screen shows, deselect the tab to “Always launch the Restore Wizard from the Restore Button”, and click Next.
    ● Under Selections, choose View by Media, and chose the image created in the duplication job.
    ● Find the user’s mailbox that needs to be restored, open the mailbox, and click Top of Information Store.
    ● From here, individual emails, contacts and folders can be restored.
    ● Select what needs to be restored.
    ● Click Resource Credentials, and then Test All to make sure that the security credentials are correct,
    ● Click Run Now.
    ● Go to Job Monitor, and the job should run successfully. This will restore data straight into the user’s mailbox.

    I manage to B2D by creating a media set Exchange Restore SET and add a B2D0002 media.

     

    ● Click the Restore tab in Backup Exec. When the “Welcome to the Restore Wizard” screen shows, deselect the tab to “Always launch the Restore Wizard from the Restore Button”, and click Next.
    ● Under Selections, choose View by Media, and chose the image created in the duplication job.

    Here i choose the media B2D0002 and i found the whole DB01 even though i cannot expand to choose a single mailbox.


    ● Find the user’s mailbox that needs to be restored, open the mailbox, and click Top of Information Store.
    ● From here, individual emails, contacts and folders can be restored.
    ● Select what needs to be restored.
    ● Click Resource Credentials, and then Test All to make sure that the security credentials are correct,

    Also what i should configure on "Destination option " and " Settings Option" ?


    ● Click Run Now.
    ● Go to Job Monitor, and the job should run successfully. This will restore data straight into the user’s mailbox.
