Backing up Information Store - Recovering to Different Information Store / RSG
- by Kip
Hi All,
I have a question on a situation, that hasn't yet arrisen but I wondered the possibilities and how we go about it.
Currently we backup our Exchange 2003 Cluster with Backup exec. Currently it is set to backup the Microsoft Information Store on that server and all of the Mailbox Stores beneath it. We have previously used this in conjunction with a recovery storage group on the same server to recover lost mailboxes. However, due to space constrictions on that server ( a seperate issue that is being addressed in the very near future but outside of the scope of this question) we now don't have enough space on that server to do a recovery storage group type restore.
Is it possible, to restore an information store, to a different server in the same administrative group (ie first)? By that I mean we have the following:
Server1 | First Storage Group | Mailbox Store1/2/3
Could Mailbox Store 1 be restored to:
Server2 | First Storage Group | Recovery Storage Group
Both servers are under the same Administrative Group
Currently for whatever reason ( mainly time) the mailboxes are not being backed up individually.
Regards
Kip
