S - Backup Exec and Exchange 2000 issues

Hello,

I am creating a disaster recovery/test environment. I have been able to restore my Active Directory as per Veritas documentation. I am having some problems with Exchange 2000 restore. When I install Exchange 2000, none of the services for Exchange are installed. But when I open System Manager, it shows my two Exchange 2000 servers (it must have found this information from Active Directory that I restored) ...

Do you have any notes or Disaster Recovery Docs for Exchange with a bit of detail ???

The following applies to BE 9.0 and 9.1 - I'm not sure of the process for BE 8.6

If you're using IDR, the IDR process restores the OS and Exchange software, but not the Exchange databases. You need to do that in a seperate restore operation. Go into System Manager and unmount the store you want to restore. Go into the BE Restore dialogue and select the Exchange private store *only*. Do not select the Public Folders or the restore will fail. Selecting the Private store will restore the Public Folders for you.
