  Hi

  When you say you restored an image, is this a snapshot of the entire exchange server? If so this is not supported. You should have recovered exchange by using the /recover switch and created a recovery DB.

  1. No DON'T restore the new backup over the existing EDB or you will overwrite your existing EDB and will lose data
  2. What you want to do is either do an RDB recovery and then extract/restore the missing data

  Check out this article http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-2010-mailbox-database-backup-restore-windows-server-backup/

  The above should server you well, however, if you want to check out 3rd party products to resolve this check out DigiScope below

  Hi,

  As Edward suggested, we can refer to the following documents to create recovery database and restore data using a recovery database.
