Steve, If you are restoring legacy backup into an RSG... you do NOT need to use the "Restore Into" dialog box. The "Restore Into" dialog box (right-click)
is only used for VSS backups. For Legacy restores into the RSG, you only need to have the RSG defined with the proper databases added and then initiate the DP/Exchange restore. The legacy restore will automatically be directed into the RSG unless you have the Microsoft override RSG registry key defined (which is not the default).
