I'd like to restore some emails from a Public Folder backup using Backup Exec.<br />
<br />
I have the restore ready to go, but not sure on the best way to go about it.<br />
<br />
I cannot restore to a recovery database (You cannot restore Public Folders to a RDB).<br />
I cannot restore to a PST (Needs 2012 or above?).<br />
<br />
I'm not sure how to go about restoring to the Public Folder Database. &nbsp;This involves taking it offline (and the Mailbox Database?). &nbsp;Does this mean that staff need to come out of Outlook when I restore it? &nbsp;What happens when you dismount a database? &nbsp;Is it best done out of hours?<br />
<br />
Any advice gratefully received!

Exchange 2010 Public Folder item restore using Backup Exec 2010

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
