Restores

[shaun_Diener]

Hi,

I am running Backup Exec 9.0. When performing a restore, mailboxes receive duplicate emails. How do i go about fixing that problem. Is there a selection i do... I do select " Restore over exisiting files" but yet mails still get duplicated when restoring from tape.

Please help

this is by design, ever since singel mailbox restore is possible.

All mails are sent back to Ex and get a new entry and ID within the information store.

The only way arround is either only to restore the mail you want ( identified ba the Mail header under the restore selection list - top of information store - inbox) or by doing what we did in the good old times... restore the mailbox to a redirected "restore mailbox" - let the user choose which mails he needs and send those mails to the requested user mailbox.

regards

uz

PS: this is the same in Version 10

Hello,

As already mentioned in the previous reply to your post, this is by design in Backup Exec. For more information and suggestions, refer to the following technotes:
