Did you check the box for the databases in Exchange System Manager which allows the database to be overwritten by a restore?
Peter Dahl. -----Original Message----- From: WEAVER, Simon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 2:23 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Ex2k Restore Failed using Backupexec Hi, I tried to simulate a disaster recovery scenario. The downside is the recovery was not a success. I do FULL Online Backups of my Exchange Server. I stopped the services, deleted the core components of MDBDATA and MDTDATA once the services were stopped and then restarted. Obviously, exchange complained! Brilliant - lets restore from Backup! Performed a restore while the services were online and it completed with errors. Checked the event log and there were errors stating that the Mailbox store could not be mounted. I verified a Technet Article (Q253931) and it told me that I should have selected "Last Backup Set" - however I could not find this option in Veritas. So I decided to run the ESEUTIL /CC tool as per the Technet instructions. >From the Exchange Server BIN Directory at a command prompt I typed the following: Eseutil /cc C:\temp\First Storage Group <Return Key> This generated a Jet error that I have yet to find any TechNet article against. I spent a long time sorting this out, to no avail. In the end I started from scratch and rebuilt the Server. I was not happy about this, because I wanted to simulate recovery procedures. Does anyone have any idea what mistake(s) I may have made about this? Any feedback is most welcome, considering I am quite new to Ex2k.
