How to restore a Exchange 2010 Public folder database and folders on to a different Exchange 2010 server

I don't believe that is possible natively.  You might check out a product like OnTrack PowerControls or Quest Recovery Manager to see if they support public folder recovery.

As Ed said, you might check automated solution to accomplish this task, as there is no way to direct restore Public folder database and folders on to a different Exchange 2010 server.

As a workaround, One third party product I can suggest here i.e. Lepide Exchange Recovery Manager (http://www.lepide.com/exchange-manager/) which is a complete Exchange recovery and backup restore solution with the facility to search, export and recover entire mailboxes or selected email items from corrupt information stores, Live Exchange servers, Exchange backups and OST files.

Hope it helps you!

you can restore public folder database from .edb file, then you can import it on another server.

There are really only a few options available since database portability doesn't apply to public folder databases.

1. You could export all online public folder data to PST and then import those PST's into a new public folder EDB

2. Use a 3rd party product to open an offline copy of the source Public Folder EDB and migrate/restore it to a production Public Folder EDB on an alternate Exchange server. We make a tool called DigiScope that can easily accomplish this and more for you.

NOTE:  There are many 3rd party tools on the market, however there are really only 3 worthwhile IMO which are the tools from Kroll, Dell/Quest and Lucid8 whom I work for.  If you value your data then I would only work with one of these 3 firms since they all do a great job from the standpoint of accuracy and completeness of recovering your data. All the others are questionable to scary once you start to examine the data.

Hi,

Based on my search, I have no such official document to achieve your goal.

Normally, we can recover deleted folders from public folder databases, provided that youve set a deleted item retention period for the public folder database from which the folders were deleted and the retention period hasnt expired. If both of these conditions are met, you can recover deleted folders referring the following article:

As a workaround, you can refer to Peter's suggestion to complete it.
