Re: Exchange recovery storage groups

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

HI Garret,

Thanks for updates.

Let me clarify it more clearly, generally speaking the RSG should be
function to recovery the mailbox store or Exchange database, but itself did
not store any information for Exchange database, it will restore the
mailbox database from the full Exchange backup. You need to make sure that
you make a full back of Exchange database, then you can use RSG to recover
your mailbox.

Hope this helpful to your issue.



Best regards,

| Hold it. Hold it. !
| Have you got some kind of robot answering messages now ?
|
| What I want to know is -----
|
| What is the RSG like ? How should I picture it ?
| Is it like a safe store that Exchange will try to populate all the time
with
| copies of the mailboxes?
| A kind of backup "place" ? That will allow me to go and ressurect clean
| usable copies of my mailboes if the original ones get damaged?
|
| or is it some kind of empty place that I can use if I want to restore
from a
| tape?
|
| or is it still something else ?
| Thanks,
| Garret
