Extracting an Exchange Server database from backup

Recovery Manager for Exchange helps you extract Exchange Server databases from regular Exchange backups. When extracted, the database files are placed in the folder you specify and can be accessed with Recovery Manager for Exchange in order to find, preview, and selectively restore items. With Recovery Manager for Exchange, you can extract Exchange Server databases from backups that span one or several media, such as files or tapes.

Recovery Manager for Exchange offers following methods for accessing backed up Exchange Server databases:

  • Integration with the third-party backup software that created the backup. Recovery Manager for Exchange integrates with the backup software to retrieve the Exchange Server backup from its location, extract its contents, and access the backed up Exchange Server databases. For a list of the third-party backup software with which Recovery Manager for Exchange can integrate, see the “Supported Backup Software” section in the Release Notes supplied with this version of Recovery Manager for Exchange.
  • Direct access to backup. Recovery Manager for Exchange can directly (without the use of third-party backup software) access certain types of backups to extract and access the Exchange Server databases the backups contain. For more information, see Accessing backups directly.

Important:

  • When using Exchange Emulation to register storages from a backup, you must specify the same storage group names that are in the backup.

  • To extract Exchange Server databases from backups by using Exchange Server emulation, Recovery Manager for Exchange requires Exchange Management Tools to be installed. On the Recovery Manager for Exchange computer, you can install Exchange 2007 and 2010 Management Tools side-by-side. By doing so, you can save your time and effort in situations where you want to work with databases originating from Exchange Server 2007 and Exchange Server 2010.

  • To extract Exchange Server databases from backups by using Exchange Server emulation, Recovery Manager for Exchange computer should run the same version of Windows as the backed up Exchange Server.

Before running the Exchange Server Emulation please:

  1. Check if the 8.3 file system is enabled on the Recovery Manager for Exchange machine by opening a command prompt and running the command: fsutil 8dot3name. If the 8.3 file system is enabled, the value for the NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation should be 0 or 2.
  2. If 8.3 is disabled, copy the C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest\Recovery Manager for Exchange\Apiemulation64.dll file to a folder with a shortname like C:\RME.
  3. Launch regedit, open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows registry key, and check whether the values are correct: AppInit_DLLs (REG_SZ) must contain the correct path to apiemulation64.dll. If the dll was copied on the step 2, the path is C:\RME\ApiEmulation64.dll.
    Otherwise, it should look like C:\PROGRA~2\Quest\RECOVE~1\ApiEmulation64.dll:
    • LoadAppInit_DLLs (REG_DWORD) = 1
    • RequireSignedAppInit_DLLs (REG_DWORD) = 0 (the value might be required if the machine does not have Internet access).

  • Microsoft Exchange System Management Tools supplied with the Exchange Server version you want to emulate.
  • NetVault Backup Client
  • Exchange Server Application Plugin Module (APM)
  • If you wish to extract data from VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Snapshot) backups created with NetVault Backup, make sure that the Volume Shadow Copy Service is running on the Recovery Manager for Exchange computer.
