Certain permissions must be set on Microsoft Exchange Server to complete a recovery with Rapid Recovery. For example, add the Administrator role to the mailbox, and then grant full access permission to the mailboxes you want to restore. The procedures for these permissions are specific to the version of Exchange installed on the server.
Rapid Recovery requires that you have full access permissions in Exchange to complete a recovery. For Exchange 2016, 2013, and 2010, you need to add a mailbox as a member of a role group and then grant full access permissions for the mailbox.
For more information about setting permissions for Exchange, refer to the following topics found on the Microsoft Web site http://www.technet.com, which contains a knowledge base of helpful procedures and topics that pertain to Microsoft Exchange:

- From the open Exchange database on the Mail Restore page, select the item that you want to recover and then, on the Mail Restore actions bar, click Restore.
The Email Restore Wizard opens.
- On the Restore Session page, complete one of the following options, and then click Next.
- If you are restoring mail items for the first time, enter a display name and your Outlook credentials for the restore session. You can then select this session for a future restore.
- If you have previously created restore sessions, select one of the following options:
- Select Use an existing restore session, and then select a session from the drop-down list.
- Select Create a new restore session, and then enter a display name and your Outlook credentials for the restore session.
- On the Destination page, select the target location of the restored item from the following options, and then click Next:

|
Restore to the recovery folder |
Recovers the selected items (including the folder hierarchy) to a recovery folder in an online mailbox of your choice. Go to step 4. |
|
Restore to the original location |
Directs the selected item (including the folder hierarchy) to the email box in the online data store in which it originally resided. Go to step 5. |
|
Restore to the PST file |
Saves the selected items (including the folder hierarchy) by creating a Personal Storage Table (PST) file or writing to an existing PST file. Go to step 6. |
|
Restore to the PST file(s) (separate file for each mailbox) |
Saves each mailbox as a Personal Storage Table (PST) file. Go to step 6. |

- Notify user. Pauses the restore and displays a message in the Monitor Active Task dialog when it encounters an error, and gives you the option to continue with or cancel the restore.
- Abort restore. Ends the restore process when an error occurs.
|
| Restore deleted objects |

Restores any rules the user had in place at the time that the data was backed up. |
- If you selected Restore to the original location, on the Configuration page, select the target Outlook Profile, select a Restore type from the following options, and then go to step 7:
- Restore only differences. Identifies whether the item being restored is already present in the destination folder and completes the restore only if there is no duplicate item. Also known as a differential restore.
- Create duplicate entries. Restores every item selected without overwriting existing items, resulting in duplicates of the previously existing items.
- Overwrite if more recent. Restores newer items that are not present in the online data store. It also restores items that are present in the online data store but are older than the items in the copy of the Exchange database.

When operating as expected, servers perform the tasks for which they are configured. If a server protected in your Rapid Recovery Core suffers a catastrophic failure that renders the server inoperable, administrators must take immediate action to restore the full functionality of that machine.
In such cases, especially when the data loss includes a system volume, you can use Rapid Recovery to perform a bare metal restore (BMR) for your protected machines. BMR is a process that restores the full software configuration for a specific system. It uses the term “bare metal” because the restore operation recovers not only the data from the server, but also reformats the hard drive and reinstalls the operating system and all software applications.
Rapid Recovery Core lets you perform bare metal restore for protected Windows or Linux machines. The protected system can be restored to similar or dissimilar hardware.
As of release 6.6, in addition to BMR of volume-level backups, you can also perform BMR for disk-level backups of Linux machines.
This section describes how to restore a recovery point from a protected machine to bare metal using similar or dissimilar hardware. Most of the tasks for a BMR are performed from the Restore Machine Wizard. When restoring a Linux machine to bare metal, you can also accomplish several tasks from the command line. These procedures are also included in this section.
