Steve,
If you are restoring legacy backup into an RSG... you do NOT need to use
the "Restore Into" dialog box. The "Restore Into" dialog box (right-click)
is only used for VSS backups.
For Legacy restores into the RSG, you only need to have the RSG defined
with the proper databases added and then initiate the DP/Exchange restore.
The legacy restore will automatically be directed into the RSG unless you
have
the Microsoft override RSG registry key defined (which is not the
default).
Thanks,
Del
