There is NO current RSG. Sorry I didn’t specify, but I was in a hurry to
attend a meeting with AVAMAR about this problem. They will be flying in an
Exchange/AVAMAR expert, but I need to be able to create RSG’s now to do any
restores the old fashioned way.
Full story now that I have time:
Created a test storage group.
Populated said storage group with test user email accounts.
Populated each account with 50 emails.
Created RSG.
Did a Backup of RSG with AVAMAR.
Tried to do a restore of the RSG from AVAMAR, restore failed and the RSG
dismounted.
Tried to remount the RSG and got this in Database Recover Manager:
Error encountered while trying to mount the database (SG98) in
the recovery storage group (Recovery Storage Group). Error message is: Exchange
is unable to mount the database that you specified. Specified database:
SERVER\Recovery Storage Group\SG98; Error code: MapiExceptionCallFailed: Unable
to mount database. (hr=0x80004005, ec=-2147467259)
From powershell ran get-storagegroupcopystatus, and the RSG says NotSupported
Got the error listed below in the App log of Event Viewer.
Removed the RSG, and closed Database Recovery Management.
Running get-storagegroupcopystatus shows NO RSG.
Looking in ADSIEdit shows NO RSG.
Looking in the EMC shows NO RSG.
Reopened the backup tool and created a new RSG.
Tried to mount RSG, got same error messages.
Removed RSG.
Created a NEW test storage group.
Moved test mailboxes to new storage group.
Created new RSG.
Tried to mount RSG, again got the same error messages.
For some reason, somewhere, Exchange thinks there is still a Recovery Storage
group. We have been trying to get AVAMAR to work on Exchange for 5 weeks now.
Every time we do a restore following their procedure it fails and causes either
a RSG or a test SG to dismount. But now I can’t do a RSG for a restore from NT
Backup because I can’t mount an RSG.
And sadly, as much as I think a reboot would clear this up, it’s a last resort.

You can only have one RSG per server. Why is that confusing?

Subject: Restore Storage Group Error
Running E2007 SP1 in CCR configuration. We are trying to implement an AVAMAR
backup solution. During testing last night while trying to create and mount a
RSG, we got this error. A quick search on Google and MS Knowledge Base gave us
nothing. Has anyone else seen this error. Bolded line is what confuses the
heck out of us!
