Document Level Data Restore Document Level Data Restore The following sections include information about the prerequisites you must meet before you perform a restore, the features that the Exchange agent offers when restoring from a Document Level backup, and the procedure for how to perform a restore. Document 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 object, you should restore all of the sessions that, when combined, give you the most upto-date version. 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 session. ■ If you backed up your storage group using both full and incremental backups, your restore set includes the session from the full backup and at least one, but up to as many sessions from the incremental backup as you want to include. For example, in the following backup scenario, your restore set can be full and incremental 1, full and incremental 1 and 2, full and incremental 1, 2, and 3, or full and incremental 1, 2, 3, and 4: Full Incremental 1 Incremental 2 Incremental 3 Incremental 4 ■ If you backed up your storage group using both full and differential backups, your restore set includes the session from the full backup and one differential backup session. For example, in the following backup scenario, your restore set can be full and differential 1, full and differential 2, full and differential 3, or full and differential 4: Full Differential 1 Differential 2 Differential 3 Differential 4 After you determine your restore set, the entire set must be selected when you submit the restore job. Note: Since Document Level backups are independent, you can restore an incremental backup or differential backup by itself (you do not have to restore it along with a full backup). As a result, if you want to restore your entire restore set, make sure you select the full backup because it is not automatically selected for you.

Document Level Data Restore
Document Level Data Restore
The following sections include information about the prerequisites you must
meet before you perform a restore, the features that the Exchange agent
offers when restoring from a Document Level backup, and the procedure for
how to perform a restore.
Document 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 object, you
should restore all of the sessions that, when combined, give you the most up-
to-date version. 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 session.
If you backed up your storage group using both full and incremental
backups, your restore set includes the session from the full backup and at
least one, but up to as many sessions from the incremental backup as you
want to include. For example, in the following backup scenario, your
restore set can be full and incremental 1, full and incremental 1 and 2, full
and incremental 1, 2, and 3, or full and incremental 1, 2, 3, and 4:
Full
Incremental 1
Incremental 2
Incremental 3
Incremental 4
If you backed up your storage group using both full and differential
backups, your restore set includes the session from the full backup and
one differential backup session. For example, in the following backup
scenario, your restore set can be full and differential 1, full and differential
2, full and differential 3, or full and differential 4:
Full
Differential 1
Differential 2
Differential 3
Differential 4
After you determine your restore set, the entire set must be selected when you
submit the restore job.
Note:
Since Document Level backups are independent, you can restore an
incremental backup or differential backup by itself (you do not have to restore
it along with a full backup). As a result, if you want to restore your entire
restore set, make sure you select the full backup because it is not
automatically selected for you.
