This topic describes other restore operations that you can perform with the plug-in.
The Plug‑in for Exchange allows you to rename a Mailbox Database during VSS-based restores. Renaming is useful if you do not want to overwrite the existing version and want to create a copy of the Mailbox Database. The following prerequisites are met before initiating the restore:
Ensure that the following prerequisites are met before initiating the restore:
• |
Target Mailbox Database must exist: The target Mailbox Database must be created in the Exchange System Manager or Exchange Management Console. |
• |

• |
Database filenames must be different from the original: The database filenames in the target Mailbox Database must be different from the database filenames used in the original Mailbox Database. |
To complete the rename process, perform the following steps.
