I am trying to restore a full backup I made from our Exchange 2003 
server. I read the docs and a long conversation from Graham Keeling 
which seemed to end in a bug report that is closed.

I am trying to restore the backup into a fresh Exchange server which has 
a Recovery Storage Group. I read somewhere that if a restore group is 
available, Exchange will use it no matter what target you specify (which 
is fine with me). This is what I tried:

Restore, mark all files in First Storage Group, including First Storage 
Group itself, set Where to '/' and let it run. Result:
'Error: HrESERestoreAddDatabase failed with error 0xc7fe1f42 - Database 
not found. Check that the Database you are trying to restore actually 
exists in the Storage Group you are restoring to.'
The Recovery Storage Group folder actually gets a recovery folder when 
the job starts so it is doing *something*.

Then I tried a number of variations but finally I read in a bug report 
that you should only restore one database at a time. So I selected the 
First Storage Group, entered the directory and unmarked the Public 
Folder part, leaving this:

$ lsmark
*C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\E0002FC5.log
*C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\E0002FC6.log
*C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\E0002FC7.log
*C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\E0002FC8.log
*Mailbox Store (AXMAIL)/
*C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb
*C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.stm
*DatabaseBackupInfo

Run Restore job
JobName:        fRestoreFiles
Bootstrap:       /var/bacula/axnet-dir.restore.11.bsr
RegexWhere:      !/First Storage Group/!/Recovery Storage Group/!
Replace:         always
FileSet:         Empty FileSet
Backup Client:   axmail-fd
Restore Client:  axemail-fd
Storage:         File
When:            2009-06-25 16:48:44
Catalog:         MyCatalog
Priority:        10
Plugin Options:  *None*

Which resulted in the Database not found error again.

Finally I removed the Recovery Storage Group as a whole and ran it again 
and got a "Error: HrESERestoreOpen failed with error 0xc7fe1f44 - 
Unknown error.".

I am running out of ideas and the docs ain't helping. Is Bacula 3.0.1 
able to restore Exchange in the first place? Shouldn't I use the regex? 
Should I use a different regex? So far, the best result I got is the 
restoration of the log files without any other data - which after 5 
hours if pretty frustrating.
