Howard,

If you are performing legacy restores the "Disable VSS Instant Restore"
will have no effect on what you are doing.
And so... I think it must have been your run recovery settings
or the way in which you were performing the restores.

As far as applying legacy incremental restore on top of VSS full restores,
that is not supported by Microsoft for Exchange.

Thanks,

Del
