7.
If the most recent backup was a full backup, skip the rest of these steps and restart the Microsoft
Exchange Server storage group. As the service is restarted, it automatically restores all of the
transactions from the transaction logs.
8.
If the most recent backup job was a differential job and you have performed no incremental jobs
between the date of the last full backup and the most recent backup, then create and run a new
restore job, selecting the latest version of the storage group. Then restart the Microsoft Exchange
Server storage group. As the service is restarted, it automatically restores all of the transaction from
the transaction logs.
NOTE:
If you have performed any incremental jobs since the date of the last full backup, continue
with the next step.
9. If you have run an incremental backup job after the most recent full backup job, you must create and
run a separate restore job for each backup performed after the most recent full backup. Sequentially
select versions of the storage group from the Available versions field in the Versions of window of the
storage group. Run and complete each restore job before creating and running a new restore job.
10.
Continue to create and run restore jobs until you have restored the latest version of the storage group.
Then restart the Microsoft Exchange Server storage group. As the service is restarted, it automatically
restores all of the transaction from the transaction logs.
