Ideally, you need to make sure that the directories where the databases are stored are backed up, but the contents of the directories are not. In the event of a disaster recovery restore, Exchange will not restore if the directories do not exist. It is of course sufficient just to mkdir them before you do the restore. > At the moment the backup is undergoing 20 gb and running so I assume > everything is ok ( at least on backup ), I would then try to do a > restore on the Recovery group I know how to do this in windows but it is > not really clear in my mind how to do that using bconsole is there some > documentation describing these steps ? > When you create a recovery storage group for a specific database, any attempt to restore that database gets automatically diverted to the recovery storage group. As long as the database in the recovery storage group is set to 'can be overwritten by restore', and the real database is not, you shouldn't break anything.
