In the BE 15 (14.2) Restore Wizard for a 2010 Exchange mailbox database to a newly power shell created recovery database which selection should be used and why:
- Restore all the transaction logs and do not delete the existing transaction log
- Purge the existing data and restore only the databases and transaction logs
I have three two year old mailbox databases to restore. I've used each selection on two of them and am unable to mount the database unless I use eseutil /p. This can lead to loss of data. Anyone familiar with this?
From the 15 Admin guide:
About redirecting Exchange restore data
With Backup Exec, you can restore Exchange data to the server from which it was
backed up or redirect the Exchange data to a different location. When redirecting
Exchange data, the service pack on the Exchange Server where data is being
redirected should be the same as the service pack on the original Exchange Server.
As a two year old backup, the service pack / rollup versions are likely not the same. This seems like a serious limitation for older data or am I interpreting this incorrectly?
