The Add Storage Wizard helps you register new source and target storages to work with.
A source storage is a storage that Recovery Manager for Exchange can search and restore data from. All registered source storages are located in the Source Storages node in the left pane. After you register a source storage, you can browse and search that storage to restore message-level items, attachments, mailboxes, or public folders.
A target storage is a storage to which Recovery Manager for Exchange can restore data. All registered target
storages are located in the Target Storages node in the left pane.
Items that are supported as source and/or target storages depend on the Recovery Manager for Exchange edition you are using. For more information, see Comparison of Recovery Manager for Exchange editions.

Recovery Manager for Exchange can integrate with existing backup software, allowing you to access Exchange Server backups through the same software you use to create and manage backups. To provide interoperability with backup software, Recovery Manager for Exchange offers the following methods for registering storages from backups:
Exchange Server emulation. The computer running Recovery Manager for Exchange appears as an Exchange Server to the backup software. You can restore Exchange Server backups by redirecting the restore to the Recovery Manager for Exchange computer.
Access to backup server. Recovery Manager for Exchange connects to a backup server that is part of the backup infrastructure, issues requests for backups stored on that server, and uses standard protocols to retrieve the backups and restore data from them. Access to backup server is only used to integrate with such backup software products as EMC NetWorker, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, and Microsoft Data Protection Manager. To integrate with other products, Recovery Manager for Exchange uses the Exchange Server Emulation method.
