They are correct. RSG supports "Mailbox" stores, never
intended for Public Folder Stores.
If the backups were carried out while Exchange was "online"
using the agent, then you cannot restore the files
themselves.
The only way you could have done this, is when the Public
folder store was dismounted, allowing you to backup the single files themselves.
but this would mean public folders would be inaccessible to users while the
store is down.
You can restore to an alternative server, but this assumes
its running Microsft Exchange 2003 as well.
Could you not restore to the same server, then when the
restore completes, shutdown the public folder store, which will give them (the
people making this request) access to the flat
files?
Simon
environment: netbackup 6.0mp4, redhat linux
master/media, exchange 2003 client
my
exchange admins need to restore the public folder (.edb?) file to an alternate
machine without bringing up exchange. the netbackup gui only drills
down to the storage group, and not the individual files. i
believe that it used to show
the files in exchange 2000, where you could see the priv and pub files, etc to
choose what to restore. i think exchange 2003 hides this so that an
exchange admin can easily restore to a "recovery storage group" for a
normal exchange database. i don't deal with exchange, but our
exchange admins say that public folders cannot be restored to an "rsg", and also
cannot be restored to an alternate machine. if they can get the files
restored as a flat file to another machine, they have tools that can extract the
data they need. has anyone out there had to do this? can you let me
know what procedures you did to accomplish this?
here is the structure that i see from the gui "dump"ed
from the netbackup catalog information:
/Microsoft Information Store/ 16832 root root 0 1207265411
1207265411 1207265411
/Microsoft Information
Store/XPF02_SG1/ 16832 root root 0 1207265411 1207265411
1207265411
/Microsoft Information Store/XPF02_SG1/Public Folder Store
(XPF02) 33216 root root 2106544426 1207265411 1207265411
1207265411
/Microsoft Information Store/XPF02_SG1/USHOUXPF02_SG1_MS1
33216 root root 1481789730 1207292814 1207292814 1207292814
/Microsoft
Information Store/XPF02_SG1/Log files_1207265400 33216 root root
104858800 1207292886 1207292886 1207292886
the fields are: path, permissions?, owner, group, size, modified, changed, access
times.
thanks
in advance,
