This lets you test your backup and restore strategies to assess whether you are backing up your system accurately and to prepare for a possible disaster. Before you can restore an Exchange Server database backup to an alternative location, you must ensure that the server you are restoring to is configured exactly the same as the original server you backed up from. To determine what needs to be identical, use the worksheet in the appendix "Using the Server Configuration Worksheet - Exchange Server 2000 and 2003 Systems." Information in all fields in this worksheet except the Server Name field must be the same on the server you are restoring to. To perform a test restore to an alternative location 1. Ensure that the test server you are restoring to meets the following criteria: ■ Microsoft Exchange is installed and is configured exactly the same as the original server you backed up from. ■ CA ARCserve Backup and the agent are installed. ■ The server is in a different domain than the domain of the server you backed up from and it has its own Active Directory. 2. Open the Restore Manager and select the Source tab. 3. Browse to and select the session that you want to restore. 4. Click the Destination tab and disable the Restore files to their original location(s) option. 5. Expand the server object for your test server and select the Microsoft Exchange Server - Database Level object. 6. Click Start to submit the job.

Perform a Database Level Test Restore to an Alternative Location
You should perform a test restore to a backup server at least
once a month
and make sure the restored database is functioning properly. This lets you test
your backup and restore strategies to assess whether you are backing up your
system accurately and to prepare for a possible disaster.
Before you can restore an Exchange Server database backup to an alternative
location, you must ensure that the server you are restoring to is configured
exactly the same as the original server you backed up from. To determine
what needs to be identical, use the worksheet in the appendix “Using the
Server Configuration Worksheet - Exchange Server 2000 and 2003 Systems.”
Information in all fields in this worksheet except the Server Name field must
be the same on the server you are restoring to.
To perform a test restore to an alternative location
1.
Ensure that the test server you are restoring to meets the following
criteria:
■
Microsoft Exchange is installed and is configured exactly the same as
the original server you backed up from.
■
CA ARCserve Backup and the agent are installed.
■
The server is in a different domain than the domain of the server you
backed up from and it has its own Active Directory.
2.
Open the Restore Manager and select the Source tab.
3.
Browse to and select the session that you want to restore.
4.
Click the Destination tab and disable the
Restore files to their original
location(s)
option.
5.
Expand the server object for your test server and select the
Microsoft
Exchange Server - Database Level
object.
6.
Click Start to submit the job.
Note:
For information about restoring to an alternative location, see the
Disaster Recovery for Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
or
Microsoft Exchange
2003 Server Disaster Recovery
white paper on the Microsoft web site.
