Good morning All,
I will appreciate if Tivoli experts on this forum can advise me on the issues below:
We have upgraded our MS Exchange environment from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2016. The final step is to uninstall Exchange 2010 from the old servers and then delete the old servers from the new Exchange environment.
For legal requirements we need to maintain the existing Backups for many years but, the question is, how can we restore mail from the old environment using Tivoli TSM.
Ideally, we would like to simply restore a .edb database to a file server and use third party tools to extract a mailbox from the file. This would not require Exchange Server to mount the database, the tools work on an offline database.
Can Tivoli TSM do this, simply restore the .edb file to a specified file path? If so, what steps do we need to follow to do this?
If TSM cannot do this what have other customers done when upgrading their Exchange environments? Surely we do not need to maintain old email servers indefinitely?
Can i log a case for this with IBM?
Many thanks in advance
Richard
