Yes DB can be overwritten and it selects okay.

This message repeats over and over again:

The MAPI call 'OpenMsgStore' failed with the following errors:
The attempt to log on to the Microsoft Exchange Server computer has
failed.
The MAPI provider has failed.
Microsoft Exchange Server Information Store:
IS no: 8004011d-0512-0000000000000000000000000000000000

I appreciate all of the help guys - I am a UNIX admin by trade who knew
Netbackup from a previous incarnation so my Exchange experience is
limited.

When you restore to your test box, be sure that the storage group and
the
mailbox store is named exactly how it is on the production box (Case
sensitive).

Does it fail at the beginning of the restore or the middle?

Are client and server version the same?  I had a "known issue" similar
to
this trying to restore from a 6.0 MP4 Master to a 5.1 MP6 client.  In
the
end Veritas was little help and I just upgraded to 6.0 MP4 clients.

Double check (as usual) DNS Lookup (We're not "accidentally" writing to
production are we?  I'd be 100% sure with HOST files just to rule this
out.)  How about reverse DNS, for Master, Media and Client?! Does the
database location exist?  I.E. if the database pointing to G:\SG1 does
G:\SG1 Exist?  Yadda yadda, check box for overwrite etc...

Enviroment: Win2k3 Master - 6.0MP4/ Exchange 2003 

I am working on doing some DR documentation and am receiving an error
when I
attempt to restore one of our information back to a test exchange
server.

The test exchange server is named identically to the server in
production
(we are in a lab enviroment). The results from the bpclntcmd come back
correct. The netbackup master server was restored from a catalog backup,
and
the buffer setttings are identical. We are simply attempting to
overwrite a
SG - we are not using a recovery storage group. The databases have been
marked that can be overwritten.

Any thoughts?
