Exchange server 2010 mailbox database restoration

Hello all,

one of the disk onto which exchange server 2010 mailbox database was hosted disappeared from the server disks.

i was able to build another exchange server and restored the backup onto this server.

i would like an assistance on how to connected the user emails onto the restored mailbox database which is on the new server.

i decided to build a new server because i didn't have more space on the previous exchange server.

regards

The Old server is still existing and has two working mailbox databases. only one mailbox database was corrupted beyond repair.
i have the backup, how can i restore the backup to the new server? is it necessary to restore the mailbox database on a different server  using /M:RecoverServe.

basically what is the best way to fix the issue in this scenario?

i now have two exchange servers. The old exchange server is still having two working mailbox databases and i have created the new exchange server with new mailbox database.
how can i export the user mailboxes  from the old corrupted mailbox database environment to the new mailbox database.

Hello All,

see below the steps i used to restore the failed database mailbox.

1.  I created a new mailbox server and then restored the failed mailbox database on it.
2. Then i created another mailbox database where i restored all the user mailboxes.
3. from this point all users started sending/receiving emails however they could not see their old emails.
4. later alone i restored all the old emails to their respective user mailbox.

lastly, i would like to thank you all for your contribution on this case.
keep up the good work

Regards
Claver
