Hey everyone, This is my first 2010 recovery operation and I know there's a link at: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/dpmexchbackup/thread/0fbc3b4e-b85f-4e69-928b-5d37bf4da7a5 But it's not exactly the senario I have and I don't want to mess this up. So far I have completed the following: 1) Created a recovery DB in Exchange 2010 2) Restored to the recovery DB from DPM 2010 3) ran ESUTIL /R against the logs and it completed 100% Now...the Database is dismounted and I'm ready for the next steps, but I don't really know where to move from here. The user is online on the same Exchange server and the recovery DB. I only want the calendar data back...and the user is online. What's the next steps my peeps :o) Thanks a lot!

Are you running Exchange 2010 SP1? If so, then follow: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee332351.aspx Restore Data Using a Recovery Database

I saw that...but those commands state "to complete a full restore of a mailbox" or "restore to an archieve folder" I don't want to do a full restore...I want to merge missing calendar entries. Can the archieve folder even house calendar data? Thanks again,

Hi, I think you should run Restore-Mailbox instead of New-MailboxRestoreRequest. According to the description of these two cmdlet, we can see that: New-MailboxRestoreRequest cmdlet to restore a soft-deleted or disconnected mailbox. Restore-Mailbox cmdlet to extract mailbox content from a restored database. please read the reference below: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125218.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff829875.aspxPlease remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
