Exchange mailbox restore from moved backup files

[knight1052]

i am currently trying to restore an individual mailbox from a backup set which was moved onto a removable disk.

after cataloging the files and starting a restore job i do not see the mail database listed only the exchange logs.

i understand that this is because i moved the files with windows rather then doing a duplication job.

is there anyway of restoring the mail from this backup set?

Hi,

Create a B2D folder in BE, and copy the backup files to this folder. Then do the catalog job, and if necessary, run an inventory.

try the restore again!

Thanks!

Try restoring from a full backup , I guess the backup set from which you are trying to restore is incremental

Make sure you have the option "use storage media-based catalogs" enabled under Tools\Options\Catalogs.

If it is disabled enable it and try to re-catalog the media.
