With the restore rename functionality, you can move a database to an alternate Storage Group.
IMPORTANT: The plug-in does not support the relocation of database file paths. Use the Exchange Management Console or the Exchange System Manager to relocate a database file path. You can find complete instructions in the relevant Exchange documentation. In addition, see How to Move a Storage Group Path at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125252.aspx You cannot use the database rename feature to rename a database in the same Storage Group. You cannot restore a database to an alternate Storage Group if the same database has already been restored to a different database in that same Storage Group. If the source Storage Group has multiple databases, you cannot use a single restore job to restore the multiple databases to separate Storage Groups. You can move one database to a Storage Group in the first Restore job and move the next database to a different Storage Group in a subsequent Restore job. |

• |
Target Storage Group must exist: The target Storage Group must be created in the Exchange System Manager or Exchange Management Console. |
