Database Level Backup and Restore for Exchange Server 2007 Database Level Restore Prerequisites Before you can restore database level backups on Exchange Server 2007 systems, you must compete the following prerequisite tasks: ■ Dismount the database stores within all storage groups you want to restore. To dismount the database stores, open the Exchange Management Console, navigate to, and expand, the storage group you want to restore, right-click each database store and select Properties from the pop-up menu. Note: You can dismount databases automatically using the option Automatically dismount databases of destination storage group before restore. For more information on this option, see Database Level Restore Options. After you click the Properties option from the right-click menu, the Mailbox Database Properties dialog opens and the General tab is selected. On this dialog, you must enable the feature This database can be overwritten by a restore for each of the database stores in the Storage Groups you want to restore. Note: You can also use the option Allow databases of destination storage group to be overwritten to automatically overwrite databases during the restore operation. For more information on this option, see Database Level Restore Options. ■ Ensure that all of the required Exchange Server services are running. ■ Ensure that the agent is installed on the same machine that has the Exchange Server installed and that the CA ARCserve Universal Agent service is running. Database Level Restore Sets When you back up an Exchange server, each storage group that you select to back up is saved on media as an individual session. To restore an Exchange server, you must restore all of the sessions that, when combined, completely restore the storage group. These sessions are called your restore set. The number of sessions in your restore set depends on the backup methods you used: ■ If you backed up your storage group using only the full backup method, your restore set includes only this full session.

Database Level Backup and Restore for Exchange Server 2007
Database Level Restore Prerequisites
Before you can restore database level backups on Exchange Server 2007
systems, you must compete the following prerequisite tasks:
Dismount the database stores within all storage groups you want to
restore.
To dismount the database stores, open the Exchange Management
Console, navigate to, and expand, the storage group you want to restore,
right-click each database store and select Properties from the pop-up
menu.
Note:
You can dismount databases automatically using the option
Automatically dismount databases of destination storage group before
restore. For more information on this option, see Database Level Restore
Options.
After you click the Properties option from the right-click menu, the Mailbox
Database Properties dialog opens and the General tab is selected.
On this dialog, you must enable the feature This database can be
overwritten by a restore for each of the database stores in the Storage
Groups you want to restore.
Note:
You can also use the option Allow databases of destination storage
group to be overwritten to automatically overwrite databases during the
restore operation. For more information on this option, see Database Level
Restore Options.
Ensure that all of the required Exchange Server services are running.
Ensure that the agent is installed on the same machine that has the
Exchange Server installed and that the CA ARCserve Universal Agent
service is running.
Database Level Restore Sets
When you back up an Exchange server, each storage group that you select to
back up is saved on media as an individual session. To restore an Exchange
server, you must restore all of the sessions that, when combined, completely
restore the storage group. These sessions are called your restore set.
The number of sessions in your restore set depends on the backup methods
you used:
If you backed up your storage group using only the full backup method,
your restore set includes only this full session.
