    The options restoring transaction logs and mount database are for a scenario when you want to recover the entire database. In case of GRT restore you need not to worry about that option. Just make the selection and run the restore. It will restore to the user's mailbox without affecting your production database.

     

    Thanks

    If you are not confident about it, try to redirect that mailbox to a test mailbox (created and activated) on the Exchange server. The restore of transaction logs and mount process only applies to recovering the entire mailbox database.

    When you restored to the Recovery Storage group, did you restore the whole mailbox database or just the mailbox or email items. You need to restore entire mailbox database to RSG and mount the database in the RSG. You need to use Exchange command line after that to restore emails from RSG to the Live mailbox or .pst

    During the restore process, you should be able to browse to the mailboxes and select the individual mailbox items you would like to restore. Just select these items an run the restore.
    Make sure to have enough temp free space available as Backup Exec must restore the complete EDB to a temp location. After that it extracts the data from it and imports it into the active Exchange database.
