FWIW: I remember one version of Backup Exec, when I was restoring an Exchange DB, I need to set the BE restore option "overwrite no matter what" in order for it to restore the DB and log files. Otherwise it would error out. And this was restoring to subdirectories that were completely empty.
I need to practice an E2K3 restore to different hardware myself. Please share what resolves your problems. Good Luck, Brent -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gregg Porter Posted At: Thursday, July 08, 2004 7:12 PM Posted To: MS Exchange List Conversation: Recovery Server restore problem Subject: Recovery Server restore problem Exchange Box: Win2k3, all patches, Exchange Server 2k3 Tape Backup Box: Win2k SP4 Recovery Server: Win2k3, same patches as Exchange box, Exchange Server 2k3 I need to recover a deleted public folder. The retain deleted items window has closed. The recovery server was created following the Exchange 2000 Server Database Recovery whitepaper, and the Exchange Server 2003 Disaster Recovery Planning Guide (New forest, same organization name, same legacyExchangeDN stem, database names match, hardware configuration matches). Dismounted the stores. Marked them to be overwritten. I loaded the tape, and selected the Public Information Store to restore. Checked the last restore box, selected the recovery server, and entered a location for temporary log files and patches. NTBackup responded with "Unable to create log path..." No error messages were logged. I have hit a wall attempting to troubleshoot this problem. Technet and Google have not provided much help(Followed KB272591 and 262959, to no avail). I have replicated the folder structure of the original Exchange server and pointed the temporary log files there. Nope. Tried the administrative share. Tried a different box. No good. Help!, please. Is the fact that I'm using a third box with a tape drive a possible cause? Should I use a 2k3 version of NTBackup? Any guidance would be much appreciated.
