Mailbox Restoration:

1. Connect to the exchange Maibox Server using the service account dedicated to TDP for
exchange (Summit: svc_pexbackup / Boudry: svc_pintlexbackup).
2. Go to Start – All Program –Tivoli Storage Manger – Dataprotection for Microsoft Exchange
Server and click on DP for exchange management Console, as shown below.
3. Open Exchange Client - Command line

This below command will restore the last backup for the mailbox “exchange2010testintl” into exchange,
on the active Mailbox Database (live) in a tempfolder=tempfolder by filtering only the Inbox beginning
at the date of..and endind at the date of…

D:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\TDPExchange>tdpexcc restoremailbox exchange2010testintl

/mailboxrestoredestination=exchange,"exchange2010testintl","tempfolder"
/mailboxfilter=folder,"Inbox” /MAILBOXFILTER=STARTDATETIME,07/01/2008
/MAILBOXFILTER=ENDDATETIME,07/31/2008

Restore Exchange Database through RecoveryDB using TDP.

Create the Recovery database on exchange:

Do not create the .edb file at this point and do not mount the recovery database as well.

1. New-mailboxdatabase –recovery –name RDB –server CHBDYSPEXCMBX01 –edbfilepath

pathtodatabase –logfolderpath pathtologfiles

Restore the Database to the RDB in exchange using /intodb=RDB and use /recovery= applyrestoredlogs
(only replay logs which were restored from backup).

2. Tdpexcc restore INTL_DB_Tier1-1 full /intodb=RDB /recover=applyrestoredlogs

/backupmethod=vss (restore the last full backup)
If you want to restore the Database at a specific time, we need first to list all objects that TDP for
exchange has through TSM by using this command and select the one that we want to restore.

Be careful the Database name needs to be case-sensitive.

tdpexcc query tsm * /all

Then we need to execute:

tdpexcc restore INTL_DB_Tier1-1 full /object=20131116144637 /intodb=RDB /recover=applyrestoredlogs

/backupmethod=VSS
 Once the database is restored, we can inject the content to any active mailboxes using
powershell command as you already know 
Exemple:

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceDatabase RDB

-SourceStoreMailbox "Exchange2010TestINTL" -TargetMailbox "Exchange2010TestINTL" -
IncludeFolders \”Inbox/*” -TargetRootFolder Temp_restore

New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceDatabase TSMRDB -

SourceStoreMailbox "Li Li1" -TargetMailbox lili1 -
IncludeFolders \"__3 Years (36 Months)/*”

New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceDatabase TSMRDB -

SourceStoreMailbox "Li Li1" -TargetMailbox lili1 -
IncludeFolders \"__3 Years (36 Months)/Apple”

To see the process in exchange, we can use this command line in order to see the progression of the
restoration.

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-MailboxRestoreRequest | Get-MailboxRestoreRequestStatistics

Name Status TargetAlias PercentComplete

---- ------ ----------- ---------------

MailboxRestore Completed 100

MailboxRestore1 Completed 100

MailboxRestore3 Queued Exchange2010TestINTL 0

MailboxRestore2 Completed 100

Once completed, we will see:

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-MailboxRestoreRequest | Get-MailboxRestoreRequestStatistics

Name Status TargetAlias PercentComplete

---- ------ ----------- ---------------

MailboxRestore Completed 100

MailboxRestore1 Completed 100

MailboxRestore3 Completed 100

MailboxRestore2 Completed 100
