Sure it can be done. It took me over 3 weeks to get it to work..
Of course you need to be running all the same versions and service packs for
both TSM TP for Exchange (2.2 for me) and Exchange 5.5 (sp4) or 2000 on both
machines.
Do a full backup of your email server.
Go to the restore server and do a restore of the mail (make sure erase
existing logs is CHECKED!), but DO NOT restore the DIRECTORY, only the
information store, private and public.
Then after the restore restart the services for exchange and go into the
Administrator program (see tech net article ID Q146920 for full details)
Go into Server Objects, and then select Consistency Adjuster
Under the Private Information Store section make sure Synchronize with the
directory is checked, click All Inconsistencies and away you go. This will
rebuild the user directory whole list and all the mail.
My config is Windows 2000 adv server Cluster using exchange 5.5 (sp4) and
TSM v2.2 (Data Protection) - for the main exchange box tsm v4.1.3 server
Restore box is windows 2000 adv server no cluster with exchange 5.5 (sp4)

Subject: Restore MS Exchange data to a different machine
Is it possible to move MS Exchange data from one Exchange server to another?
I want to try to restore Exchange data to another server same way it works
with other TSM clients, by giving access from source node to target node and
than by starting client on target node using
-virtualnodename=sourceNodeName.
I have checked TSM's Exchange Restore Help, and it has information about
moving data to another server if original server is not available and by
naming new server same as original and than restoring data to new server. I
want to know if it is possible to restore data to a different machine while
original one is still up and running.
Thanks
