Using the VSS Restore Wizard

SFW provides recovery support for Exchange 2010 mailbox database.

Using the VSS Restore Wizard, the snapshots that are created with the VSS Snapshot wizard can be used for a point-in-time recovery of the storage group or a roll-forward recovery to the point of failure of either the storage group or an individual database in the storage group.

The point-in-time recovery restores the data to the time that the snapshot set was last refreshed - that is, it restores all the data that was recorded in the snapshot.

The point-of-failure recovery restores the old image of the data volumes only and then replays the logs to accomplish a roll-forward recovery, provided that the log volume is intact.

Note:

After completing a point of failure (POF) recovery of a single database, Veritas recommends using the VSS Snapback wizard to reattach and resynchronize the other databases and to use the VSS Snapshot wizard to create a new snapshot set.

Note:

COW snapshots are not supported when restoring to a recovery storage group (RSG).
