If I setup a new server with the same name or do a full restore of the original system how would this impact users that have since been moved to other servers. i.e. will users try and connect to the DR restore? (old and new servers have different server names) thanks!
The RSG was created using the existing storage group. I was assuming BackupExec/Exchange was just going to magically move the backed up group into the new RSG. A bit of reading has shown how poor an assumption that was.

I don't believe it will work to recover a store from a nonexistent server or storage group. If the exchange backup that was done is part of the same domain that are restoring too then I would setup an additional server in the org using the same name as before and restore to that server. If not then do a full restore of the system state and store to a completely separate server and treat it as a DR restore to new hardware. I admit my knowledge on RSG is limited but I may be wrong. PSS may be your best bet in this case depending on your need.

I have the tape and an RSG created to restore to but the server and storage group for which this backup was made no longer exist. I was hoping it was as easy as setting a few Exchange redirect parameters in BackupExec and running the job but I receive the error below. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks! Failed to find a database to restore to from the Microsoft Active Directory. Storage Group specified on the backup media is 680416c8-ce41-4fc2-a1ee-46bead5107f8.
