You are missing the 'restore key change' required after an offline backup restored.
Cheers Paul Standards are like toothbrushes, everybody agrees you should have one, but no one wants to use yours -----Original Message----- From: csr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 23 March 2002 01:10 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Restoring Individual Mailboxes from Full Backup. How can I restore an individual mailbox from a full backup i.e. I stopped all the exchange services and backed up all the Exchange folders(which include dsadata, mdbdata, mtadata, Add-Ins, bin, insdata, kmsdata, imcdata and all other exchange folders). The process I tried was, I installed Exchange on another server (with same organization and site name as the main one)and copied the restored dsadata, mdbdata, mtadata (i.e. the main information store folders)in this server. I had to stop all the Exchange services to copy these folders. WHen I tries to restart the services they wouldnt start not am i able to Exchange Administrator. I am not sure if this a correct process. Can anyone tell me the correct process to restore individual mailboxes, messages to a newly installed exchange server from the full backup. Any/all input would be appreciated. Thanks!! _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************************************** The information contained in this message or any of its attachments may be confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s).
