Restoring multiple databases to a Recovery Storage Group

You can use SnapManager to restore multiple databases to a Recovery Storage Group. This option saves you from performing repeated restore operations.

About this task

You cannot add more than one database from the same Storage Group to the existing Recovery Storage Group. If you attempt to perform this operation in an Exchange Server 2007 environment, after you select all of the databases that you want to recover, SnapManager deletes the existing Recovery Storage Group and creates a new Recovery Storage Group, into which it then adds all the databases that you chose to recover. In an Exchange Server 2003 environment, SnapManager does not allow you to proceed if the Recovery Storage Group exists. You need to manually remove the Recovery Storage Group through ESM.

Steps

In the Actions pane, click Restore wizard.
In the Choose the target for back up restoration window, select the Restore to the Recovery Storage Group option.
In the Choose the items to be restored, select the check boxes corresponding to the production databases and the LCR replica databases that you want to restore.
Follow the instructions in the Restore wizard to complete the restoration of multiple databases to a Recovery Storage Group.
