TSM server 6.3.3 on Win2K8 Exchange 2010, 4 servers in a DAG config TSM Client 6.4.0 TDP for Exchange 6.4 installed on a server with passive data bases only VSS backups, no VSS Instant Restore Backups run OK, can do mailbox restores, mailbox history is enabled.
Now, to restore individual mailbox items, the book says you must first use the Exchange console to create a Recovery Data Base. (P. 110-113) But it looks like when you pull down the Mailbox Restore Browser, it starts the restore anyway and the TDP creates a Recovery Data Base on its own, is this correct? (I'm basing this on a subsequent error that said "Recovery Data Base TSMRDB-exchangename already exists") Is there any doc on what it does? I'm assuming it creates a recovery DB the same size as the mailbox DB to be restored? Does it create it on the server where the mailbox was backed up, or on the server where the restore is being run? Is it supposed to delete the RDB when the restore is finished, or is the Exchange DBA supposed to do that? If somebody goes crazy with it, will there be a space issue?
