Steve. While performing restore into the Recovery Storage Group, you want to ensure that you add the database for the SG and MS that you are trying to restore to your RSG. You do those steps with the Exchange management console; after creating the RSG, right-click on it and select Add database (I am recalling here from previous restore to Exchange 2003; might be slightly different) then select the Exchange server, CN, MS & SG for the Mailstore you are trying to restore.

According to the doc, “When performing a Legacy restore of mailbox databases, if a Recovery Storage Group exists, mailbox databases will be restored to the Recovery Storage Group instead of to the original storage group. … If you want to restore the Exchange Server 2007 storage group into the Recovery Storage Group, an alternate storage group, or into a relocated storage group, right-mouse click on the storage group that you selected for restore. A dialog box with a drop-down list of available storage groups to restore into will display. If an existing storage group does not display in the ″Restore Into″ dialog box, it may mean that the correct databases for the storage group have not been created. You must create the databases within a storage group before performing a ″Restore Into″ function. Select the storage group name that you wish to restore into from the drop-down list.” However, when I right-click, the “help” pops up instead. I’ve tried this on both the recovery server and on the production mailbox server with the same results. When my exchange admin tried it yesterday on the recovery server, it looked like it dismounted the production database, as if it was trying to restore there instead of to the recovery server she was logged into (the recovery failed, thank goodness, they only had to remount the prod db). Of course the mailbox that we are trying to get back is one of the execs, so we need it asap… Thanks, Steve Schaub Systems Engineer, Windows BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee ----------------------------------------------------- Please see the following link for the BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee E-mail disclaimer: http://www.bcbst.com/email_disclaimer.shtm IMPORTANT: E-mail sent through the Internet is not secure.
