About requirements for redirecting the restore of an Exchange mailbox or public folder object to a different path

Review the following requirements for redirecting the restore of an Exchange mailbox or public folder to a different path:

  • You must indicate an explicit path (or full path).

  • In the destination path, the following segment of the path cannot be changed:

    Microsoft Exchange Database Availability Groups:\

    Microsoft Information Store:\

    If you change this part of the path, NetBackup attempts to restore the objects as normal (non-Exchange) files.

  • The destination mailbox or destination folder must have an associated user account.

  • When you redirect a restore of public folders, the folder you indicate in the destination path does not have to exist.

  • When you redirect a restore from a granular backup, consider the following example restore destinations:

    Microsoft Exchange Database Availability Groups:\server1\My-database\Database\
    John Q. Employee [JQEmployee]\Top of Information Store\Inbox\
    
    Microsoft Information Store:\My-database\Database\John Q. Employee [JQEmployee]\
    Top of Information Store\Inbox\

    In the examples, note the following:

    • server1 can be the target server.

    • My-database, must be valid database on target server (but is not directly accessed).

    • John Q. Employee, must be a valid and an accessible mailbox.
