Hello,
I am testing the Exchange plugin again. This time, I am using bacula 3.0.2
(for all daemons).
a) Set up a Microsoft 2003 Server, with Exchange 2003 installed, with the
default settings.
b) Set up a Microsoft XP machine, with Office 2007 installed.
c) Joined the XP machine to the domain of the server, and added a domain user
called 'user2', who can collect mail from the Exchange server using whatever
default protocol Exchange uses.
d) Telnetted to port 25 of the exchange server and set a couple of mails to
'user2', which the Outlook client then picks up.
e) Installed the bacula client on the Exchange machine, making sure that the
'Plugins Directory =' line is correct in the fd configuration file.
f) Set up the fileset as follows, and did a full backup.
FileSet {
Name = "Windows:win-2k8-64:Windows Exchange Server data"
Ignore FileSet Changes = yes
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
compression = GZIP9
IgnoreCase = yes
}
Plugin = "exchange:/@EXCHANGE/Microsoft Information Store"
}
}
g) Sent a few more mails to 'user2'.
h) Flushed the Outlook cache on XP by right-clicking on the inbox ->
Properties -> Clear Offline Items, then Tools -> Send/Receive
-> Send/Receive All. Deleted all the mails from Outlook. Did another
send/receive to make sure that they could no longer be downloaded from the
server.
h) On the 2003 Server, opened Exchange System Manager, went to Servers ->
(Server name) -> First Storage Group, and for both Mailbox Store and Public
Folder Store, right-clicked -> Properties -> Database, ticked 'This database
can be overwritten by a restore'. Also, right clicked the Mailbox and Public
Folder Stores, and 'dismount'.
i) Deleted everything from 'C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\MDBData'.
j) Went to bconsole, and restored everything from the fileset.
k) On the 2003 Server, re-mounted the Mailbox and Public Folder Stores.
l) Went back to Outlook on XP, did a send/receive, was told that I needed to
restart Outlook because of changes on Exchange. I did so, did another
send/receive and got back my emails from step (d).
All well and good, and as far as I got last time.
So, onto trying to restore using the Recovery Storage Group, following the
instructions here:
http://bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/New_Features.html#SECTION003200000000000000000
The process that I followed was the same as above, up to step (g). After
that...
h) On the 2003 Server, opened Exchange System Manager, went to Servers and
right-clicked my server name (DEVEL-WK3-32) and chose 'New -> Recovery Storage
Group...', then 'OK'.
A Recovery Storage Group appears under my server name. I right-clicked
'Recovery Storage Group' and chose 'Add Database to Recover...' and
double-clicked 'Mailbox Store (DEVEL-WK3-32)', then 'OK'. 'Mailbox Store
(DEVEL-WK3-32)' then appears beneath my 'Recovery Storage Group'.
i) Went to bconsole, and restored the following directory:
C:/@EXCHANGE/Microsoft Information Store/First Storage Group/Mailbox Store
(DEVEL-WK3-32)/
Bacula reports that the restore failed, and bacula-fd on the Windows server
crashes. This is the log on the bacula director machine:

The Windows Server Event Viewer has a few messages too. I've copied them here
in case they are useful:
