I think that is what I did wrong...I chose both, directory and info store.
thank you.

Make sure you specify the recovery server as the destination server and
select only the Information Store to restore.

Subject: disaster recovery practice?
Today, I decided to be a good exchange mail administrator and practice a
mailbox recovery using my recovery server. I have already built the
recovery server, same SP's and fixes, did NOT join the site, but used same
names. I have done this before with no problem. I put the tape in,
catalog'd it, and then started the restore (by the way, following step by
step with the whitepaper!)....however I soon started getting calls about a
mail problem. It turns out all the services had stopped on the "real" mail
server, same one as the one I was doing the restore. It turns out that
during the restore, the recovery server started writing Directory Service
transaction logs on the "real" server and this threw off the chronological
order of the logs which caused the services to fail..we ended up renaming
the logs to get them in order and everything is back up...
did I miss something or did someone fail to tell me that the recovery server
should not be on the network at the time of the restore?
