Hi Del;

Thanks for the response. One more question.
Should I put these variables in the dsm.opt file for TDP?

I don't see those entries there now.

thanks and regards;
Hussein A.

Hussein,

I assume you are using Data Protection
for Exchange (either version 2.2.0 or 5.1.5).

If you take the defaults when performing the
restores, this is done automatically for you.
That is:

  "/ERASEXSISTING=NO"  (for Exchange 5.5)
  "/RECOVer=APPLYALLlogs"  (for Exchange 2000)

on the restore command. This will restore
all backed up logs and apply all restored
logs as well as any logs that currently exist
on the server.

If you specify

  "/ERASEXSISTING=YES"  (for Exchange 5.5)
  "/RECOVer=APPLYRESToredlogs""  (for Exchange 2000)

then it will NOT apply the latest logs. It will
only apply those logs included in the backup.

When performing these restores through the GUI,
there are checkboxes that indicate these values.

Thanks,

Del
