Hi Jerome,

The setting for "Replay restored AND current logs"
should not have any effect on which databases get dismounted
at restore time.

Another possibility occurred to me...

Microsoft changed default behavior with Exchange 2010.
Exchange Server 2010 only supports VSS backups.
With prior versions of Exchange, and using legacy backups methods,
if a recovery database existed, all restores by default
would go there. However, Microsoft changed that behavior
with Exchange Server 2010.

If you want to restore a database into a recovery database,
you need to specifically tell DP/Exchange that you want
to direct the restore "into" that recovery database.

>From the GUI, with your mouse over the backup that you want
to restore, click the right-mouse button and choose the recovery
database that you want to restore into. For the CLI,
use the "/INTODB=recov-dbname" option.

It is documented in the book like this:

Unless otherwise specified, VSS restores refers to all restore
types that use VSS (VSS restore, VSS fast restore, VSS instant restore):
**  A VSS restore ignores the recovery database and is placed directly
into the
    production database unless the /intodb parameter is specified.

If you still see problems after redirecting the restore, please open a
PMR.


Thanks,

Del
