I believe that due to the intrigration of Exchange with AD you can no longer 
(starting at Exchange 2000) recovery information from one Exchange server to 
another by changing the dsm.opt file.  With Exchange 2000 you had to bring up 
the server on an isolated netowrk.  With Exchange 2003 you have the abililty to 
use a restore storage group.

There is a section called "Exchange 2003 Recovery Storage Group" in the "Data 
Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server Installation and User's Guide".  It 
can be found at: 
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/StorageManagerforMail5.2.1.html.

Also the Microsoft KB has a lot of information on this topic as well.

But we are getting this error when restoring the public folder

Background.

We are trying to restore from EX04 onto EX03 by changing the DSM.OPT file on
EX04\TDP to point to EX03

Mehdi,

You need to have Data Protection for Exchange version 5.2.1
in order to back up and restore Exchange 2003.

With Data Protection for Exchange version 5.2.1 you can back up and restore
at the database level. And so, you would restore the Public Folder Store
database in order to restore the public folders appearing within that
database.

Thanks,

Del
