IBM ConfidentialDifferential (Legacy only)Restore a Differential type backupDatabase copy (Legacy only)Restore a Database Copy type backup.VSS restore considerationsBe aware of the following considerations when performing VSS restores. Unlessotherwise specified, ″VSS restores″ refers to all restore types that use VSS (VSSRestore, VSS Fast Restore, VSS Instant Restore):Restorev VSS restores ignore the Recovery Storage Group and are placed directly into theproduction database.v The VSS Backups to be restored must be from the same snapshot (i.e. contain thesame timestamp). VSS Backups that contain different timestamps must berestored one at a time and cannot be restored together in a single operation.v A VSS Instant Restore overwrites the entire contents of the source volumes.However, you can avoid overwriting the source volumes by specifying/INSTANTRESTORE=NO. This parameter bypasses volume-level copy and usesfile-level copy instead to restore the files from a VSS Backup that resides on localshadow volumes.v Unlike Legacy restores (which only dismount the database being restored), VSSrestores dismount all databases in the storage group that is being restored.v If a hardware provider is used, the disks that contain Exchange data must beconfigured as basic.v Be aware that when a VSS restore from local shadow volumes is performed, thebytes transferred will display ″0″. That is because no data (″0″) is restored fromthe Tivoli Storage Manager server.syntaxUse the restore command syntax diagrams as a reference to view available optionsand truncation requirements.►► TDPEXCC RESTore * FULLsg-name,sg-nameNCOPYINCRementalDIFFerentialDBCopy db-name►►/BACKUPDESTination=backupdestination or tdpexc.cfgTSMLOCAL►►/BACKUPMETHod=backupmethod or tdpexc.cfgLEGACYVSS►86 Storage Manager for Mail 5.5: Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server Installation and User’s Guide
