Restoring a deleted mailbox or items from a deleted mailbox

Edit online

You can use IBM Storage Protect Snapshot for Microsoft Exchange Server to restore a mailbox or mailbox items that were deleted from an Exchange Server.

Before you begin
Decide where the mailbox data from the deleted mailbox is to be restored.

If you restore mail to a Unicode personal folder (.pst) file, or you restore a mailbox that is deleted or re-created after the time of the backup, IBM Storage Protect Snapshot for Microsoft Exchange Server requires a temporary mailbox to store the mailbox messages. Create a temporary mailbox by setting the Alias of temporary mailbox option on the Properties page, under the General tab.

Attention: Ensure that the temporary mailbox that you create is on a database with enough disk storage capacity to accommodate all of the mailbox items that you are restoring.
Procedure
Complete one of the following actions:
  • Restore the deleted mailbox data to the original location. Before you run the mailbox restore operation, re-create the mailbox that is using Exchange.
  • Restore the deleted mailbox data into an active alternative mailbox in an online Exchange Server.
  • Restore the deleted mailbox data into an Exchange Server personal folders (.pst) file.
