  • If you do a GRT backup for public folder on tape then you will not able to see the individual items on the tape for Public folders. This is by design, you have to duplicate the tape data to disk to see the GRT view.

    You can see the other stores like first storage group and others but not the public folder
     

  • Its not by design:
    Public Folder granular restore data will NOT show up in restore selections if the backup job is written to tape. This is a limitation of MAPI. We are not able to get enough information from Active Directory to associate the Public Folder data with its actual location. This is not a problem with restore selections from backup to disk folders due to the dynamic way we can read the Exchange database using the VFF technology.

    If you are restoring from GRT-tape backups, you need to run a duplicate job from tape to disk and restore public folders from the disk ..
