Redirect to Storage Group and/or Database (Exchange 2007 or later only)

Enables the Restore to Database and Restore to Storage Group fields.

Restore to Storage Group (Exchange 2007)

Specifies the name of an existing storage group. Use this option when you want to redirect the restore of one or more Exchange 2007 databases to a different storage group.

Restore to Database or Recovery Database

Specifies the name of an Exchange 2007 database or an Exchange Server 2010 database or recovery database that you want to restore.

For Exchange 2007, use this option when you want to redirect the restore of a single Exchange 2007 database.

When you redirect a database restore, the storage group and database or the recovery database names you specify must already exist on the destination Exchange server.

Redirect to Recovery Storage Group (RSG) (Exchange 2007 only)

Redirects the restore of an Exchange mailbox database to a recovery storage group.

You can use a recovery storage group and the Exchange 2003 or 2007 Mailbox Merge Wizard to help you restore individual user mailbox data.

To use this option, you must create a recovery storage group. You must also create, within the recovery storage group, a database for each database you plan to restore. Each database you create in the recovery storage group must use the same name as the database that you want to restore. During a redirected restore operation, the Exchange Agent automatically detects and uses the recovery storage group.

For more information on recovery storage groups, see your Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 documentation.
