Microsoft Exchange options to restore items from archives

You can restore over existing messages and folders when you restore mail messages from the archives.

Note:

The mailbox that you restore to must already exist. It is not created as part of the restore job.

See Restoring items from archives .

The option When restoring individual mail messages, restore over existing messages replaces an existing message with the message that you restore from the archives. A new object ID is not created for the restored message. Only the contents and properties of the message are replaced.

This option is not enabled by default.

If this option is not enabled, or if the original message does not exist, then the message is recreated as a new message. Backup Exec creates a new object ID for the recreated message.

If this option is not enabled and if the original message does exist, then the message is not restored from the archives.
