Restoring an Exchange Storage Group

The Barracuda Backup Agent for Exchange restores the entire Exchange storage group. It can restore to both the production storage group and recovery storage groups.

When an Exchange database is restored from a backup, the current database files are overwritten. To ensure that the production environment cannot be overwritten by the restore, rename the existing database files before you start the restore process.
