Restore Options for All Selected Items (General) - Databases

Updated

Use this dialog box to control how the selected Exchange databases are restored.

Restore Destination

  • Destination Client

    The client computer where the restore operation will restore the data. From the list, select the original or different client computer.

Restore Options

  • Restore to same database

    Restores the database to the same client from which it is backed up (in-place restore).

    • Only for VSS Restore

      • Restore to another database

        In a DAG environment, restores the database stores to an active copy to a different database on the same Exchange server, or to an active copy in a different Exchange server within the same Exchange organization.

        For VSS-enabled backups, restore the database stores to a different storage group, including Recovery Storage Groups (Exchange 2007), or a database, including a Recovery Database (Exchange 2010 or later) on the same Exchange server, or to a different Exchange server within the same Exchange organization.

      • Out of place restore to file location

        Restores the database stores to a physically different location on disk (that is, a non-Exchange location).

        Without recovery

        When this option is selected, the transaction logs are not replayed after the restore.

        Destination List

        The list at the bottom of the dialog box provides options for out-of-place restores.

  • Source DB

    A list of information stores on the client. You can select the stores from where you want to restore data.

  • Destination DB/Out of Place Location

    When Restore to another database is selected, double-clicking the .. button beside the corresponding source database opens a dialog box that allows you to choose the destination database.

    When Out of place restore to file location is selected, double-clicking the .. button beside the corresponding source database opens a dialog box that allows you to browse to a destination location.

    Advanced

    Click to select additional restore options.

Save As Script

Click to open the Save As Script dialog, which allows you to save this operation and the selected options as a script file (in XML format). The script can later be executed from the Command Line Interface using qoperation execute command.

When you save an operation as a script, each option in the dialog will have a corresponding XML parameter in the script file. When executing the script, you can modify the value for any of these XML parameters.
