DESCRIPTION

The RMExch restore command can perform one of three functions. It can restore a previously

backed up virtual copy from media, perform a filecopy restore from a mounted virtual copy, or

perform a volume restore from an unmounted virtual copy.

Media backups can be restored to their original location (the volume(s) or directory locations

of the virtual copies that were backed up. Note: not original exchange data locations, or an

alternate location can be specified.

Filecopy restores will copy the virtual copy's files to the original database location and

overwrite the current database files. The virtual copy to be restored from must be mounted to

the production server hosting the Mailbox Database. See

Volume promote restores will overwrite all data on the original database volume. This will

WARNING: Please DO NOT perform a volume promote restore if multiple storage

groups share any volumes. This includes all data files .LOG, .EDB, .CHK (and .STM

for Exchange 2003). If you are not sure how or if your storage groups share

volumes, please execute the script “chk_multi_storage.cmd” by default installed

at “Program Files/3PAR/RM/Exchange/bin/” to determine how any storage groups

may be sharing volumes.
