5. Database Recovery Using the Recovery Storage Group A recovery storage group lets you mount a second copy of an Exchange mailbox database and extract data Create a recovery storage group and database Restore the database that you are recovering Mount the database and merge the data Create a recovery storage group and database Restore the database that you are recovering Mount the database and merge the data 1 1 2 2 3 3

6. Recovery storage group considerations: Logical information about the storage group, database, and mailboxes in the database must be intact and unchanged in Active Directory You can recover a single mailbox, a single database, or a group of databases in a single storage group You cannot recover public folder content The Exchange Server 2007 recovery storage group does not support mounting mailbox databases from previous versions of Exchange Server You cannot restore entire Exchange servers Logical information about the storage group, database, and mailboxes in the database must be intact and unchanged in Active Directory You can recover a single mailbox, a single database, or a group of databases in a single storage group You cannot recover public folder content The Exchange Server 2007 recovery storage group does not support mounting mailbox databases from previous versions of Exchange Server You cannot restore entire Exchange servers Recovery storage group scenarios include: Dial-tone recovery Individual mailbox recovery Specific item recovery Dial-tone recovery Individual mailbox recovery Specific item recovery Considerations for Using the Recovery Storage Group

7. Database Recovery Using Database Portability Database portability means that you can move mailbox databases between Mailbox servers and mount the database without modifying the database or server configuration To move a mailbox database to another server: Perform a soft recovery on the database Create the destination database on the new server Move the database files and mount the database Reconfigure the user mailboxes Perform a soft recovery on the database Create the destination database on the new server Move the database files and mount the database Reconfigure the user mailboxes 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4

8. Database Recovery Using Local Continuous Replication Use LCR to recover from a lost or corrupted production database or from failed transaction logs Disable LCR on the production storage group Modify the location used for data storage by the storage group and mailbox database Mount the database Disable LCR on the production storage group Modify the location used for data storage by the storage group and mailbox database Mount the database 1 1 2 2 3 3

10. Process for Recovering Public Folder Databases Configure a recovery server to restore the public folder store Create an empty public folder database on the recovery server and overwrite it by using the backup set from the production server Configure a mailbox in the recovery Exchange organization Mount the restored database and connect to the database using the messaging client Copy the required public folder data to a.pst file Copy the individual messages or public folders from the.pst file into the production environment Configure a recovery server to restore the public folder store Create an empty public folder database on the recovery server and overwrite it by using the backup set from the production server Configure a mailbox in the recovery Exchange organization Mount the restored database and connect to the database using the messaging client Copy the required public folder data to a.pst file Copy the individual messages or public folders from the.pst file into the production environment 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6

11. Tools for Repairing Messaging Databases Tool Description Eseutil A command-line tool that inspects, defragments, and repairs the mailbox and public folder databases in Exchange Server 2007 Isinteg A command-line tool that correlates and repairs information and relationships between mailboxes, folders, items, and attachments in an Exchange Server 2007 database

14. Lesson 2: Recovering a Messaging Database Using Dial-Tone Recovery What Is Dial-Tone Recovery? Process for Implementing Dial-Tone Recovery Dial-Tone Recovery Scenarios

15. What Is Dial-Tone Recovery? Dial-tone recovery benefits: Enables users to send and receive e-mail as soon as possible after the loss of a database or server Dial-tone database can be merged with the recovered database into a single up-to-date mailbox database Enables users to send and receive e-mail as soon as possible after the loss of a database or server Dial-tone database can be merged with the recovered database into a single up-to-date mailbox database Dial-tone recovery is the process of implementing access to e-mail services without restoring data to user mailboxes

16. Process for Implementing Dial-Tone Recovery Create the dial-tone database If necessary, configure the mailboxes that were on the failed database to use the new dial-tone database If necessary, configure the Outlook client profiles Restore the failed databases from backup Merge the data in the two databases Create the dial-tone database If necessary, configure the mailboxes that were on the failed database to use the new dial-tone database If necessary, configure the Outlook client profiles Restore the failed databases from backup Merge the data in the two databases 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5

17. Dial-Tone Recovery Scenarios Scenario Recovery Tasks Same server dial- tone recovery Configure the dial-tone database on the same Mailbox server as the original database, restore the mailbox database on the same server and merge the two databases Alternate server dial-tone recovery: option 1 Use an alternative server as a temporary location for the dial-tone mailbox database, but restore the original database on the original server Alternate server dial-tone recovery: option 2 Implement the dial-tone database on an alternative Mailbox server and permanently move the mailbox database to that server
