Database Level Backup and Restore for Exchange Server 2007 Last Backup Set Options ■ Run recovery after restore--Enable this option when you want to run recovery 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 a subsequent differential or incremental restore. - If you are restoring data to its original location, all of the existing logs will be played back into the database during the recovery process. This process ensures that the databases will be restored to the current point in time. However, if the existing logs are corrupt or not in sequence, the recovery will fail. Note: If you want to restore the storage group to the point of the last backup, you can use the Restore files to their original location restore method and do the following: 1. Dismount all of the databases in the storage group. 2. Delete or move the existing log files and the .chk file for the storage group to a different location. 3. Restore the storage group using the Run recovery after restore option. 4. Perform a full backup of the storage group. Note: To ensure that subsequent differential and incremental backups are properly sequenced with the last full backup, you must perform a full backup of the storage group at this time. If you do not perform a full backup at this time, your attempts to restore the subsequent differential and incremental backups will fail. ■ 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. Chapter 3: Performing Database Level Backups and Restores 63

Database Level Backup and Restore for Exchange Server 2007
Last Backup Set Options
Run recovery after restore
--Enable this option when you want to run
recovery 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 a subsequent differential or
incremental restore.
If you are restoring data to its original location, all of the existing logs
will be played back into the database during the recovery process. This
process ensures that the databases will be restored to the current
point in time. However, if the existing logs are corrupt or not in
sequence, the recovery will fail.
Note:
If you want to restore the storage group to the point of the last
backup, you can use the Restore files to their original location restore
method and do the following:
1.
Dismount all of the databases in the storage group.
2.
Delete or move the existing log files and the .chk file for the storage
group to a different location.
3.
Restore the storage group using the Run recovery after restore option.
4.
Perform a full backup of the storage group.
Note:
To ensure that subsequent differential and incremental backups
are properly sequenced with the last full backup, you must perform a
full backup of the storage group at this time. If you do not perform a
full backup at this time, your attempts to restore the subsequent
differential and incremental backups will fail.
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.
