It is highly recommended that only technically qualified persons perform the MS Exchange Server restore operation. Wrong or incorrect usage of this Exchange Server restore operation can result in irreversible damage to your Exchange Server files.

The following mandatory steps have to be performed before initiating the MS Exchange Server Restore operation.

Step 1: Start the MS Exchange System Manager from Start > Programs > Microsoft Exchange > System Manager.

Step 2: Right click on the ‘Public Folder’ store/ ‘Mailbox’ stores that you need to restore and choose the ‘Dismount Store’ option.

Step 3: Right click on the ‘Public Folder’ store/ Mailbox’ stores and choose the ‘Properties’ option.

Step 4: Select the 'Database' tab from 'Properties' and then enable the option 'This database can be overwritten by a restore'. Now, click 'Apply' followed by the 'OK' button to confirm the operation.

Perform the steps 3 and 4 above for all the databases that need to be restored.

Note: Once the above mentioned steps have been performed, it is recommended to close the ‘MS Exchange System Manager’ before initiating the restore operation.

Please note that the restore operation will overwrite the existing databases on the MS Exchange Server.

We strongly recommend you to take offline backup of MS Exchange Server databases that you need to restore before initiating the restore operation.
