Applies to: User Mailbox, and Journal Mailbox
By default, data is restored to the client computer from which it originated. This is referred to as an in-place restore. However, you can restore data to a different folder on the same Exchange Mailbox server from which data is backed up, or you can restore data to a different Exchange Mailbox server.
When you restore data to a different Exchange Mailbox server:
-
The source and destination server must reside in the same CommCell environment.
-
The destination server must have the application installed on it.
-
If a mailbox is selected as the out-of-place destination, all the selected messages are restored to the Inbox of that specific mailbox.
-
If a folder is selected as the out-of-place destination, all the selected messages are restored to that specific folder in the mailbox.
When you perform an out-of-place restore, the restored data inherits the rights (that is, permissions) of the parent directory.
