From: Jim on 24 Jun 2010 06:11 Just had a call from someone with an SBS 2008 server. They have got no disk redundancy, they had two disks and they installed the OS onto one and used the other for the data. Their second data disk E:\ ,which he tells me they moved their exchange databases onto, has failed. He's replaced the disk and the server boots up OK, but of course Exchange 2007 isn't working. He has a backup of the information stores but he's having difficulty restoring them. Does he have to get new empty databases setup in Exchange 2007 in order to overwrite them with his restore ? At the moment he says he's just got an empty E:\ drive/partition.

From: Russ (SBITS.Biz) [SBS-MVP] on 25 Jun 2010 19:08 If they are using the SBS2008 backup just restore the exchange. it should work restoring the complete volume even. If not you will have to create a NEW exchange store and let email push up (assuming they are in cached mode.) then have them fix the server correctly of course :) and move things where they should be "RAID etc." Russ -- For Future SBS Related Questions Please post to http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/smallbusinessserver/threads Or use the easy to remember http://www.SBSRepair.com (Redirect) ------- Russell Grover - SBITS.Biz [SBS-MVP] MCP, MCPS, MCNPS, SBSC Remote Small Business Server/Computer Support - www.SBITS.Biz BPOS - Microsoft Online Services - www.BPOSMadeEasy.com "Ace Fekay [MVP - Directory Services, MCT]" <aceman(a)mvps.RemoveThisPart.org> wrote in message news:tm47261o8oh9hmf6p937bukhrb4836302t(a)4ax.com... > On Thu, 24 Jun 2010 11:11:19 +0100, "Jim" <jim(a)dontwantspam.com> > wrote: > >>Just had a call from someone with an SBS 2008 server. >> >>They have got no disk redundancy, they had two disks and they installed >>the >>OS onto one and used the other for the data. >> >>Their second data disk E:\ ,which he tells me they moved their exchange >>databases onto, has failed. >> >>He's replaced the disk and the server boots up OK, but of course Exchange >>2007 isn't working. >> >>He has a backup of the information stores but he's having difficulty >>restoring them. >> >>Does he have to get new empty databases setup in Exchange 2007 in order to >>overwrite them with his restore ? >> >>At the moment he says he's just got an empty E:\ drive/partition. >> >> >> >> > > Are you saying he can't simply restore the backup of his old E: drive > to the new E: drive?

From: Jim on 7 Jul 2010 16:33 Sorry folks, haven't seen him for a bit. He's resolved it, basically let Exchange create a new empty database and then set that for being overwritten and then restored from his backup.
