And that shouldn't be a problem because you don't need the directory to
recover just data like deleted folders or mailboxes. You only need to
recover the directory if you're restoring an entire server into a production
network.

I have restored the priv and pub.edb's to a recovery server on the same
network as my production one. The key (as Andy pointed out) is to not
restore the directory. That will always go to the server that it was backed
up from.

You restored all of pub.edb to a different server on the network?

But isn't that only in certain instances? I recovered a public folder (with
the generous help/advice of some of the people on this list) last week. The
recovery server was on the network and I simply redirected the store to that
server.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work. An admin I once worked with found this
out the hard way... The recovery server needs to be on a different network
than the original server.

Did you redirect your restore to the restore server and not the "real"
Exchange server?

Subject: disaster recovery practice?
Today, I decided to be a good exchange mail administrator and practice a
mailbox recovery using my recovery server. I have already built the
recovery server, same SP's and fixes, did NOT join the site, but used same
names. I have done this before with no problem. I put the tape in,
catalog'd it, and then started the restore (by the way, following step by
step with the whitepaper!)....however I soon started getting calls about a
mail problem. It turns out all the services had stopped on the "real" mail
server, same one as the one I was doing the restore. It turns out that
during the restore, the recovery server started writing Directory Service
transaction logs on the "real" server and this threw off the chronological
order of the logs which caused the services to fail..we ended up renaming
the logs to get them in order and everything is back up...
did I miss something or did someone fail to tell me that the recovery server
should not be on the network at the time of the restore?
