When trying to restore a mailbox database from DPM 2010 I'm getting the error 'Recovery failed for Exchange Mailbox Database Database1 on {exchange-server-name} as the alternate storage group or the database specified is invalid. (ID 30198 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057))'
I have created the recovery database with this command:
new-mailboxdatabase –recovery “recoverydb” -ebfilepath “D:\restore\RDB1.edb” –logfolderpath “D:\restore\” –server ExchangeServerName
Following the steps outlined in this post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/dpmexchbackup/thread/0fbc3b4e-b85f-4e69-928b-5d37bf4da7a5
I can see the database in the exchange console and have set the ability for it to be over written with by the restore.
I go into DPM and select the recovery point I would like to recover from and then select the mailbox, right click and recover. I have been though the wizard and selected a Recovery Type of 'Recover mailbox to an Exchange server database'. I have specified the server the RDB has been created on and the database name: ‘RDB1’.
On the final page of the wizard the progress bar goes for a few seconds and then it comes back with the error 'Recovery failed for Exchange Mailbox Database Database1 on {exchange-server-name} as the alternate storage group or the database specified is invalid. (ID 30198)' in red.
I have tried recreating a new RDB, having the RDB mounted and unmounted . There is enough space for the recovery.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try next?
Thanks, Joe
