Using advanced restore procedures

Renaming Storage Groups/Mailbox Databases

Supported Backup Methods: ESE and VSS (2007 and 2010)
Target Storage Group must exist: The target Storage Group must be created in the Exchange System Manager or Exchange Management Console.
Database names must match original: The database names in the target Storage Group must match the database names in the original Storage Group.
Database filenames must match original: The database filenames in the target Storage Group must match the database filenames in the original Storage Group; however, the database file path or directory for the target Storage Group can be different.
NOTE: Due to a scripting limitation of the Windows PowerShell®, the plug-in does not support the use of single or double quotation marks in Storage Group/Mailbox Database names.
Target Mailbox Database must exist: The target Mailbox Database must be created in the Exchange System Manager or Exchange Management Console.
Database names must be different from the original: The name of the target Mailbox Database must be different from the name of the original database.

Open the Exchange Management Shell.
Get-Mailbox -Database <SourceDatabase> |where {$_.ObjectClass
Get-Mailbox -Database <SourceDatabase> |where {$_.ObjectClass
| Set-Mailbox -Database <TargetDatabase>
Replace <SourceDatabase> with the name of the original database and <TargetDatabase> with the name of the destination.

Moving databases 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.
Database must exist: The target database must be created in the Exchange System Manager or Exchange Management Console.
