When you go to the restore selection list , Expand to the mailbox for which u need to restore ,expand top of information store , under this you should see the information you want to restore .

Hi NILA<

Just be aware that when restoring either the entire IS, or individual items, BE will automatically stage the IS to disk temporarily while doing the restore. THe default location is C:\Temp, so you need as much space free as the IS is big!

If you don't have enough space, you can go to Tools --> Options --> Exchange and make the change to another drive with enough disk space.

If your restore fails, consider staging to disk manually yourself. Once on disk, it becomes a lot faster to restar the process if you need to. If you don't know how too, check the link below and read up on how to do it...
