I'm kinda interested in what you think the second one is? An in-place restore plus recovery? That's a great way to create a resume generating event.
After you create a recovery mailbox database, you copy either a DB or a DB plus logs to the proper directories. If everything is consistent (i.e., clean shutdown) then you just mount the MB DB and the DB will be available. If not a clean shutdown, then soft recovery will be attempted, but it's very likely that you'll have to bring out eseutil at that point to make everything work... -----Original Message----- From: Maglinger, Paul [mailto:pmaglin...@scvl.com] Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2012 10:08 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2010 Recovery Database and DAG Okay, no answers so I'm going to play around with this a little bit. Can anyone answer why I'm finding to methods of creating a Recovery Database? One involves basically creating new directories for the database and the logs, restoring the data to them, running eseutil to clean up the dirty shutdown and then mounting. The other involves using Powershell to create a recovery database and then restoring to it. Specifically: New-MailboxDatabase -Recovery -Name RDB1 -Server MBX2 So what's the major difference between the two methods? I don't see any reference on the Powershell method of having to use eseutil to fix anything. Is that it? -Paul -----Original Message----- From: Maglinger, Paul [mailto:pmaglin...@scvl.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2012 2:29 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange 2010 Recovery Database and DAG We're doing some test restores of mailboxes and in the past (pre-DAG and Exchange 2003) we would create a Recovery Database and pull the mailbox out of there. Now we're looking at Exchange 2010 and Symantec BackupExec goes out and finds Exchange and backs up the DAG, which contains the databases. So in the case of a Recovery Database, I would just create it on one of the mail servers and outside of the DAG, then restore the mailbox database to it and then go through the eseutil and such to get it mountable. What I'm not seeing is any indication of log files when I expand the restore tree, unless they're lumping the db and log backup into one package. Has anyone did a Recovery Database restore from a DAG tape backup using Symantec BackupExec? -Paul --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
