Create
a Recovery Database (RDB) in Exchange 2010.
1. Create a log drive and Database folders on the Mailbox server on which you
are creating the Recovery database, below are the paths where logs and Mailbox
database (.Edb) files are stored.
Ø Log Drive Path which
we have created for RDB for Example: “D:\LOGS\DB_RDB”
Ø Mailbox Database Path which we have created for RDB for Example:
“D:\MailboxDatabases\DB_RDB”
2. You cannot create a recovery database using the Exchange Management Console.
use Exchange Management Shell, The following command will create the RDB
New-MailboxDatabase
-Recovery -Name DB_RDB -Server IND00EX001 -EdbFilePath "D:\MailboxDatabase\DB_RDB" -LogFolderPath "D:\Logs\DB_RDB”
3. Run
the above command on Exchange Management shell.
4. Now
the Recovery database is created, verify
the same in Exchange Management console,
5.The
database will be in dismounted state as soon as its created,
6. Next we create our restore job from backup server,
