Database Level Backup and Restore for Exchange Server 2000 and 2003 ■ Commit after restore--Commits the database after the restore is completed. If you are restoring a set, use this option only when you are restoring the last backup in the set. If this option is not selected, the database is left in an intermediate state and is not yet usable but is ready for subsequent differential or incremental restores. - Apply existing logs--If you enable this, both the existing logs and any new logs that will be restored are applied together in sequential order when the database is committed. If you do not select this, only the new logs will be applied (existing logs are not applied). Important! Do not use this option if the Exchange server that you are restoring data to is not the Exchange server you backed up from, the existing database is corrupt, or the new logs that will be restored are out of sequence with the existing logs. If you enable this option and the agent detects that logs are out of sequence, the agent automatically disables the option to prevent the job from failing. - Mount database after restore--Instructs Exchange Server to mount the database after the restore is completed. If you would rather manually mount your database, disable this option. Note: If Exchange Server fails to mount the database, check the event log for details. If you think Exchange Server failed to mount because of existing logs on the server, repackage and run the restore without the Apply existing logs option enabled. - Wait for the database to commit--If you enable this, the agent waits for Exchange Server to return the commit result before finishing the restore. This may take a long time depending on the number of logs Exchange Server is attempting to commit. ■ Temporary location for log and patch files--Sets a temporary location on the Exchange Server machine to restore logs and patch files during the restore process. The temporary location you select must be empty before you restore and must have enough space for all the log files being restored. After the database commits the logs and patch files, they are deleted. Note: If you are restoring a series of full backups, incremental backups, or differential backups, you must use the same temporary location for all restore jobs.

Database Level Backup and Restore for Exchange Server 2000 and 2003
Commit after restore--
Commits the database after the restore is
completed. If you are restoring a set, use this option only when you are
restoring the last backup in the set. If this option is not selected, the
database is left in an intermediate state and is not yet usable but is ready
for subsequent differential or incremental restores.
Apply existing logs--
If you enable this, both the existing logs and
any new logs that will be restored are applied together in sequential
order when the database is committed
.
If you do not select this, only
the new logs will be applied (existing logs are not applied).
Important!
Do not use this option if the Exchange server that you are
restoring data to is not the Exchange server you backed up from, the
existing database is corrupt, or the new logs that will be restored are
out of sequence with the existing logs. If you enable this option and
the agent detects that logs are out of sequence, the agent
automatically disables the option to prevent the job from failing.
Mount database after restore--
Instructs Exchange Server to mount
the database after the restore is completed. If you would rather
manually mount your database, disable this option.
Note:
If Exchange Server fails to mount the database, check the event
log for details. If you think Exchange Server failed to mount because of
existing logs on the server, repackage and run the restore without the
Apply existing logs option enabled.
Wait for the database to commit--
If you enable this, the agent
waits for Exchange Server to return the commit result before finishing
the restore. This may take a long time depending on the number of
logs Exchange Server is attempting to commit.
Temporary location for log and patch files--
Sets a temporary location
on the Exchange Server machine to restore logs and patch files during the
restore process
.
The temporary location you select must be empty before
you restore and must have enough space for all the log files being
restored. After the database commits the logs and patch files, they are
deleted.
Note:
If you are restoring a series of full backups, incremental backups, or
differential backups, you must use the same temporary location for all
restore jobs.
