    Exchange 2007.

    How can I restore a mailbox backup with another user/name ?

    I use BackupExec to backup filegroup and I am able to restore mailbox overwriting the old one ... but I MUST leave untouched the original.

    Basically, I would like to browse the restored mail. How can I do this ?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I think you should use recovery storage group.

    I hope this will help you.

    Also note that in addition to the Recovery Storage Group, BE supports Granular Restore backups and restores. This is something you would have to ask them about.

    Hi Ali,

    I used in the past RSG but I don't remember if I can merge backup mailbox on a user different than backup.

    Do you know this ?

    Thanks.
