Create a Recovery Database

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

You can use a recovery database, which is a special kind of mailbox database, to mount a restored mailbox database and extract data from the restored database as part of a recovery operation. After you create a recovery database, you can move a recovered or restored mailbox database into the recovery database, and then use the Restore-Mailbox cmdlet to extract data from the recovered database. After extraction, the data can then be exported to a folder or merged into an existing mailbox. Using recovery databases, you can recover data from a backup or copy of a database without disrupting user access to current data.
