Logging/Recovery
Will the transaction logs be purged from the Active or the Replica when an Exchange backup is
performed via the Replica?
The log truncation will happen on the Active Database only and not from the Copy databases.
Once the backup is completed from the Replica, it will signal the Active database. The logs will be
truncated from the Active database and sync will take place with the copies, which will affect the
transaction logs on the Copy databases.
Backup initiated transaction log file truncation will be triggered based on the type of backup chosen. In
non-DAG configurations, the Store Writer will truncate the transaction log files at the completion of
successful Full or Incremental backups. In DAG replicated configurations, log truncation will be delayed
by the Replication service until all necessary log files are replayed into all other copies. The Replication
service will delete the backed up log files both from the active and the copy log file paths after it verifies
that the to-be-deleted log files have successfully been applied to the copy database and both active
database and the database copies checkpoint has passed the log files to be deleted.
Log truncation doesn't occur on the active mailbox database copy when one or more passive copies are
suspended. If your planned maintenance activities are going to take an extended period of time (for
example, several days), you may have considerable log file buildup. To prevent the log drive from filling
6.2 User Problem 2 -Exchange Database Level Backup fails - Client halt error
The following errors will be observed from the Application event and it will occur during the backup
(after sequence 18 from the Application Events in section 5)
Active Events:
Event ID: 215
Source: ESE
Category: Logging/Recovery
Level: Error
Message: "Information Store (3084) EXCHDB1_08: The backup has been stopped because it was halted by the client
or the connection with the client failed.
Replica Events:
Source: ESE BACKUP
Event ID: 914
Category: General
Level: WarningMessage: General Information Store (3084) The surrogate backup by VMEXCHANGEMBS1A has
stopped with error 0xFFFFFFFF.
In this case as well, run a Windows Server Backup of Exchange, as explained above to narrow down the
case. If the Windows Server backup is successful, then do the steps below to disable TCP Offloading
TCP Offloading has to be disabled on the NIC from the Backup Server and the Exchange Nodes.
On the Backup servers:
IPv4 Checksum Offload Off
IPv4 Large Send Offload Disabled
IPv6 Checksum Offload Off
IPv6 Large Send Offload Disabled
When the backup is initiated, you will get an error as E3577 Cannot find DB on Exchange server
In such cases, run the adsiedit.msc and use the same domain controller and credentials as provided in
the ARCserve Backup UI. Mostly, there will be ldap connectivity issues, or the Exchange containers
cannot be seen. The solution is to use a different domain controller or credentials, so that the Exchange
objects can be viewed correctly.
A sample screenshot of the adsiedit.msc is provided below:
7. Exchange Restore
During a restore, the backup/restore application instructs the Exchange Writer to coordinate with the
Exchange Store to dismount the database, replace the database files, mount the database and then
replay the transaction logs as needed. When restoring, the requestor also communicates with the VSS to
prepare the system for the restore, and then to put the data back on to the mass storage device. The
backup/restore application is also responsible for working with the Windows Server to read data from
and write data to the backup storage media, whether a tape archive, a storage area network, or the
other backup medium. The restored database can be mounted either as a regular, active database, or as
the Exchange 2010 Recovery Database. Only one mounted database can be designated as a recovery
database on each Exchange Server.

Make sure the destination mailbox is enabled and existing in the Exchange Server.
Make sure the database corresponding to the destination mailbox is mounted.
Before proceeding to recover the mailbox contents from Recovery Database, run the following
command to get the details of mailboxes available in the Recovery Database.
Get-MailboxStatistics Database "Recovery Database"

Run the following command to restore the content of mailbox 'production mailbox' in the Recovery
Database to the production mailbox:
Restore-Mailbox Identity "production mailbox" RecoveryDatabase "Recovery Database"

Say 'Yes' for the confirmation asked. Restore process will start immediately.
When completed, you will get statistics about the restore mailbox job. You can see the information about
the source and target mailbox database etc.
Run the following command to restore the content of 'production mailbox' in the Recovery Database to
'test mailbox' under the folder 'Recovered Contents Folder' within 'spare mailbox':
Restore-Mailbox -Identity "test mailbox" -RecoveryDatabase "Recovery Database" RecoveryMailbox "production mailbox" -TargetFolder "Recovered Contents Folder"
NOTE : The above command will create a new folder "Recovered Contents Folder" inside "test mailbox"
and will restore the content of "production mailbox" into the new folder "Recovered Contents Folder"

Say 'Yes' for the confirmation asked. Restore process will start immediately.
When completed, you will get statistics about the restore mailbox job. You can see the information about
the source and target mailbox database etc.
