Restore
With Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 writer, you can restore your data not only to
the original location (from which the backup was performed) but also to a different
location. You can restore:
• A whole storage group
• A single store
In both cases the respective LCR or CCR copies can also be restored.
You can restore data to:
• The original storage group
• A different storage group
• A non-Exchange location – With this restore method, after the restore is completed,
the Recovery Storage Group (RSG) can be created automatically.
• A recovery server – This restore method restores data to different client and
different storage group.
If you restore to a different storage group, you can access single mailboxes or
individual e-mail messages at a different location without changing the original
storage group content. Furthermore, if the whole server is destroyed, restoring to a
different Exchange Server system (recovery server) will minimize the time window
during which your mailboxes will be unavailable.
