Hi Michael, My intention is just to test the backup restore and my concerns is nothing should happen to live setup. I have mentioned what i intend to do in my first mail. Request you to find it below. I know RSG is read only and i can start using the restored database only after swapping with the original one. Hope i am clear. Regards Praveen R "Michael B.

You should be aware that the RSG is "read only" for most intents and circumstances. --------------------------------- From: Praveen Ramaswamy [mailto:ramaswamy_praveen@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, July 08, 2005 2:02 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Re: Recovery storage--Expert's advice needed http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi, I tested this on test server and it works, but i want experts advice before i do it on live server. I want to do this just to ensure my backups are intact. Regards Praveen R Praveen Ramaswamy <ramaswamy_praveen@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi, I am using Arc server backup software 11.0 to backup exchange 2003 (SP1) mailbox on a production server, however i have not tested it by restoring. So i thought of utilizing "Recovery storage group" feature to test the restore. i want to do the following. 1. do not delete the production database (Skip creating dial-tone database) 2. create recovery storage group and add the database to which i want to restore. 3. Restore the database and mount it (Recovery storage group) 4. Do not swap the database Now i will be able to see the mailbox's in the Recovery storage group though disabled. This i feel tells me that backed up database is intact. Is my understanding correct. Can i try this on production server. Regards Praveen R --------------------------------- Yahoo!
