Restore database or logs to the original location

Exchange database or log files can be restored to original location as long as the database GUID, database and logs path are the same as that of the backup. You can select the entire exchange instance or individual databases for restore.

Restore database and logs to a new name or location

Exchange databases or log files can be restored to different database names or paths. To restore to a different database name, you select the new location by browsing the server in the restore DESTINATIONS pane and selecting a database for the restore destination. To restore with the same database name, you only need to select the Exchange instance in the SOURCES pane, since the original location is the default restore destination.

Restore to a recovery database

An Exchange database can be restored to a mounted or dismounted recovery database on the source Exchange server or a different Exchange server. If the recovery database is mounted at the time of restore, it will be dismounted before the restore. You must select the recovery database from the destination restore window.

Restore to a recovery server

An Exchange database can be restored to a Recovery Server. You need to select either a server instance or a database.

Restore to a non-Exchange location

The database or log files of Microsoft Exchange Server can be restored to a non-Exchange location on an Exchange server. You must select a new folder as the destination. (Right-click the destination volume to create a new folder.) Database or log files will be restored under the folder with unique names. (Logs for log files, actual database name for database files).
