When you need to restore mailbox items to your Exchange server, you can launch the Single Mailbox Recovery application via SnapManager for Microsoft Exchange to locate and restore these items.
Before you begin
Ensure that Single Mailbox Recovery version 5.0 or later is installed on the server that is running the SnapManager for Microsoft Exchange user interface, MMC Snap-in. Also, if you are using Protection Manager, ensure that both the source and destination Single Mailbox Recovery servers are configured for Protection Manager access. See the
sdcli dfm_config command for help on how to configure SnapDrive to access a Protection Manager server.

SnapManager for Microsoft Exchange displays the Exchange server storage groups and databases.
- Click the name of the backup that you want to restore.
You can select both local backups and archive backups.
- In the Actions pane, click Run SMBR.
SnapManager for Microsoft Exchange displays a the Start SMBR dialog box.
- Provide the information required by the Single Mailbox Recovery software, such as the database name and optionally usage of the transaction logs.
For more information about using Single Mailbox Recovery software, see the Single Mailbox Recovery User Guide.
