I have always used PS to create like so: New-MailboxDatabase -Name "srecover" -Server mbx1 -EdbFilePath "o:\recovery\db1.edb" -LogFolderPath "o:\recovery logs\db1" -Recovery
Providing the backup restored is valid, I just mount the Db and go, but I have had to use esetil at times. We use NetBackup instead of BackupExec, it throws logs and DB into one lump. Looked strange first time I saw it.. -----Original Message----- From: Maglinger, Paul [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2012 10:08 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2010 Recovery Database and DAG Okay, no answers so I'm going to play around with this a little bit. Can anyone answer why I'm finding to methods of creating a Recovery Database? One involves basically creating new directories for the database and the logs, restoring the data to them, running eseutil to clean up the dirty shutdown and then mounting. The other involves using Powershell to create a recovery database and then restoring to it. Specifically: New-MailboxDatabase -Recovery -Name RDB1 -Server MBX2 So what's the major difference between the two methods? I don't see any reference on the Powershell method of having to use eseutil to fix anything. Is that it? -Paul -----Original Message----- From: Maglinger, Paul [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2012 2:29 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange 2010 Recovery Database and DAG We're doing some test restores of mailboxes and in the past (pre-DAG and Exchange 2003) we would create a Recovery Database and pull the mailbox out of there. Now we're looking at Exchange 2010 and Symantec BackupExec goes out and finds Exchange and backs up the DAG, which contains the databases. So in the case of a Recovery Database, I would just create it on one of the mail servers and outside of the DAG, then restore the mailbox database to it and then go through the eseutil and such to get it mountable. What I'm not seeing is any indication of log files when I expand the restore tree, unless they're lumping the db and log backup into one package. Has anyone did a Recovery Database restore from a DAG tape backup using Symantec BackupExec? -Paul --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
