Microsoft Exchange Server writer restore specifics
Microsoft Exchange Server Writer is used to restore Microsoft Exchange Server
database files.
When restoring from a Microsoft Exchange backup, the following two scenarios are
possible:
• One or more databases are corrupted, but the log files are not damaged. In this
case the database is restored and transaction logs are applied. See “Rollforward
recovery from the loss of one or more databases” on page 386.
• The log files are corrupted or missing. In this case all databases and log files
need to be restored. A rollforward recovery of the database is not possible. See
“Point-in-time restore after loss of a log file” on page 387.
