Step 3

Copy and replace all the files in the database location with the files from the full backup.

e.g. In our case database location is E:\Exchange\Mailbox\FirstDatabase.And we have replaced all the existing files with the files from full backup.

Step 4

Mount the database back and verify the mailboxes and the emails from the restored data. Check that data is present by login into WebMail as a user, and see if they can access all of their data.

Step 5

In addition for restore of data from differential incremental backups follow the similar steps as above. Obviously there will not be any database file in the files recovered from differential incremental backup, so unmount the database and copy the recovered log files to the database location and replace existing files if needed then mount the database back. Verify the restored data again.

Note.png Note: Please note similar steps could be followed for data recovered from Cumulative Incremental backups or Copy backups.
