I'd recheck permissions - we had similar probs and it was permissions based in the end.Data Recovery Bristol

Yes , all permissions are OK

1) i have AD 2003 and MS Exch 2007 on windows 2003
2) i am using NT backup for edb files , system state , intpub , and E:/Excahnge folder G:/Log files ( for every storage Group )

Now i am trying to restore my Third storage Group in my Test Envelopment Exch.2007 server ( which is same Exch.Server like in our production Envelopment ) .

But it’s giving above Error

any thing i am missing form my backup Procedure ?

Hi Daya,

Have you checked the permissions for the folder in which the database + logs reside?

Is anything logged in the Application or System logs?

No problem, If you have any questions or if anything crops up during your migration I’m happy to help.

Thanks for the clarification, Dave.

Going from Exchange 5.5 to 2007 definitely puts me out of my element. I think that type of transition will be more and more common with Office 2007 not supporting groupware functionality from Exchange 5.5.

Hi LH,

When you do the restore it should go into the RSG you create in Steps 1 + 2 automatically.

Worst case scenario the restore will fail, since your other stores wont have the “This database can be overwritten by a restore” option.

Thanks

Step 3 is very broad, but seems like the most important one to me. I do not see any option in NTBackup to redirect the restore to another storage group. It asks me if I want to restore to a different server, but not a different storage group. Am I missing something obvious? I get:

You have selected to restore backups from a database store. This backup data may be restored to the original server, or redirected to another database server.

Backup From: SERVER\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group

Restore To: SERVER
Temporary location for log and patch files:

__ Last Restore Set (log file replay will start after this restore completes.)
