To use Rapid Recovery to recover an Exchange item, you must have Microsoft Outlook installed and configured on the same machine on which Rapid Recovery is installed.
The machine on which Rapid Recovery is installed also must adhere to the following criteria:
• |
Microsoft Outlook 2007 or later is installed on the machine with Rapid Recovery (usually the Core). |
• |
The Outlook profile associated with Rapid Recovery has full-control permissions, including Send As and Receive As permissions. |
• |
The Outlook Cached Exchange Mode option under the Outlook profile associated with Rapid Recovery is disabled. |
NOTE: If you open Rapid Recovery on a machine that does not include a compatible version of Outlook, you receive a message reminding you that a supported version of Outlook must be installed. Clicking OK on this message opens Rapid Recovery, but the data store is not available for item-level recovery. |
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.

Before you begin using Mailbox Restore for Exchange, complete the following prerequisites:
Without the proper permissions and an instance of Outlook installed on the Mailbox Restore machine, Mailbox Restore is unable to perform Exchange-item recovery, even if the Exchange server is protected by an Rapid Recovery Core.
The Local Mount Utility is the recommended means for opening an Exchange database in Mailbox Restore, but it is not required. You can also open Mailbox Restore directly from the folder in which the application is saved and then open the Exchange database from the File menu.
NOTE: To open a database from Mailbox Restore, you must first mount a recovery point. For more information, see Opening an Exchange database in Mailbox Restore using the Local Mount Utility or Mounting a recovery point. |
