restore contacts

Hi

Ensure you Backupexec is BE 2010 r3 sp2 with one hotfix after that & also ensure remote agent on exchange server matches with remote agent version on Media server

Also if you are trying to restore from tape try duplicating data to disk first & then again try doing restore & let me know, Also have this worked ever before?

Also if you can update the exchange version will be great.

Thanks

You can duplicate to disk as per the article below:

Are you restoring contacts that are in the default contacts folder - or has the end user created separate customized contacts folders to manage their contacts?

I am restoreing from disk, never do it from tape.  Takes to long ;). Thanks anyway for your reply.

Hi First of all thanks for the reply. The versions are matching and service pack 2 is installed (was working before ;) ).Can you tell me the hotfix number, as liveupdate is not working... Have some issue to solve.

I am not redirecting my restore, if that's what you mean. Thanks for your reply

No Exchange 2010 has an ability for a user to manage contacts is into separate folders/containers and we are currently investigating a restore issue where end users have done this (even when restroing to original locations)  Hence the reason for my question

Ok I created a new user because the 5 first letters where assigned tu multiple users.

Now I receive the following error:

V-79-57344-905 - The resource credentials for the restore job were unable to create a role assignment for ApplicationImpersonation. Review the credentials to ensure that it has the rights that are required for ApplicationImpersonation.
