Shadow Protect Server 4.0 and restoring Exchange mailbox Part 3



Posted by: Roger Crawford
Exchange 2007, Storage Craft Shadow Protect Server 4, Windows 2008 R2

So what I did was to do the restore of the DC using the HIR option as it was a physical server and then loading the integrated components from within HyperV and on the Exchange server which was a Virtual running in HyperV already not to do the HIR and then when everything came up they all was talking and doing what they should have been in the first place. Moral of the story for this piece was if it is Physical do the HIR when restoring into a Virtual area and if it was already a Virtual not too.

Now that I had that all running I just created myself a Windows 7 machine and loaded Office on it and then connected Outlook as that user and exported out what I needed. Life was good and I know it seems like a lot of work but it wasn’t that bad and in the end everyone was happy and I now had my way of doing this down.

Til later just Roger
