HP Data Protector A.06.11 Integration Manual page 196

The following restore scenarios are supported:
• Restore of a storage group or individual stores to the original location.
• Restore of LCR and CCR copies (storage groups or individual stores) to the location
where the original database resides.
• Restore of a storage group or individual stores and LCR and CCR copies (storage
groups or individual stores) to a different location:
• Restore to a different storage group
Data can be restored to a different storage group. Exchange Server can then
replay the restored logs from the original storage group on the target storage
group to bring the restored database up to date. If you perform restore to a
different storage group, you can access single mailboxes or individual e-mail
messages on the alternate location without compromising availability of the
original storage group with a potentially unsuccessful restore operation.
• Restore to a non-Exchange location
Data can be restored to a non-Exchange location. On Data Protector session
level, this option is already available if you use Restore into the following
directory option. On a storage group level, however, a storage group can
be restored to a target directory, and another one to a different storage group
in the same session if the target client system is the same. Individual stores
can also be restored to a non-Exchange location. During the restore, data is
restored into target component destination path.
In this scenario, the restored data is not managed by Exchange Server.
• Restore to a non-Exchange location with creation of Recovery Storage Group
(RSG)
Data can be restored to a non-Exchange location and a Recovery Storage
Group can be created for the databases afterwards. Exchange Server
recognizes the Recovery Storage Group DP RSG created by Data Protector.
• Restore to Recovery Server
If the Exchange Server system is unusable, an entire storage group can be
restored to another Exchange Server system (Recovery Server) and some other
storage group. If the target system is identical to original (the same host name,
storage group names, store names, and the same directory structure), restore
can be started as normal restore to original location. In case of differences,
restore to a different location must be used.
To restore to a different location, right-click the storage group, or store, or logs
to be restored and click Restore as. Select target locations for all the components
you want to restore.
