Recovery Storage Group in Exchange 2003 and 2007
Hi,
I need to recover some messages from a mailbox and I intend to use Recovery Storage Group in my Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007.
I do not have a backup software, just the off line files edb and stm from the both Exchange Servers.
What is the procedure to copy the files in Exchange 2003 and 2007?
I have tried to copy the files but no mailbox appear.
If anyone can help me I appreciate.
Thanks for while.

If the stores are in a clean shutdown, then simply copy the files into a temporary directory and setup the RSG using the paths and names of the files.

Look under the section called:
Manually Copy Database Files to a Recovery Storage Group

Hi Andy,
thanks for the response.
I already tried to replace the edb and stm files but no success, when I mount the Recovery database the files uses is a Recovery.edb.
Do you know whatelse must I do?
Thanks again.

Hi Andy,
of course, here it goes:
- I create the Recovery Storage Group using the standard configuration, Next, Next and Finish
- I choose the First Storage Group database to recover and I create the Recovery mailbox database with the standard configuration too
- I have the priv1.edb, pub1.edb, priv1.stm and pub1.stm files and I put them in the path where I configured Recovery mailbox database
- I mount the database but no mailbox appears to me
I followed the steps that are in the KB.
Is it the correct?
Thanks again, Andy.
Best Regards
