Hi there,
I'm just looking for a confirmation. I'm using Backup Exec 2010 and having 1 job for backup and the exchange databases is also back-uped. No problems.
I was just testing a single mailbox restore, once with the destination being a Redirect to file and once with a redirect to a temp restore mailbox.
I've noticed that it will create the full database set in file format on the c:\temp folder. I found it strange that the mailbox being restored contained just 300MB and the file counting of the active job growed being more that 5 GB, then I sas the files being created in c:\temp.
Is this the normal way a restore of a single mailbox should take place? So when having a mailbox store of 40GB, and I want to restore 1 mailbox of 300MB, I need free space of 40Gb to get it restored?? Or do I make a wronglt back-up?
Thanks.
Marcel

I guess the backup was on the tape, when you perform a GRT restore the backup set is stagged on
the disk at the give location before restoring any data, same does not apply if the backup is targeted
to a disk.

Amol,
Sorry, yes onto tape. I understand the answer is yes because we are dealing with a full backup set?

Full or Incremental both needs to be stagged from tape to disk before restoring

This is why I always set my staging options to D:\Temp (or wherever you have a lot of free space) in Tools>Options. Most servers have smaller C-drives, and larger data drives. You can bring your server down by running it out of space while doing a restore if you stage to C:.
