Hi all,
I am writing a backup and restore application for Exchange Server 2000
to work at storage group level. I am using API from ESEBCLI2.dll . Can
anybody out there tell me exact sequence of APIs to be called fro the
restore operation .
I am confused about the sequence of APIs like HrESE RestoreOpenFile()
and actual copying of DATABASE files. Which should be called first ??
Same for the Log Files and patch files . Whether to copy them in
destination folder first or call API HrESERestoreOpenFile on log and
patch FILES ??

Also in call HrESERestoreDatabase() what should be the 4 th parameter
wchar* wszDatabaseStreamsS ??? The senario is :

1: Temporary folder path given to HrESERestoreOpen() is
c:\exchangeserver
2: The database files extracted from backup set are : priv1.edb
and priv1.stm @ c:\ exchangeserver
3: The exchange server installation has set path for database
files @ c:\program files\Excsrvr\MDBDATA

So please tell me what "paths" should be passed to various ESE APIs for
Restoration operation. ..
Any help in this regard will be most appreciated..

Thanks,
UniUser
