You can use SnapCenter to restore backed-up Exchange databases.
For information about how administrators assign resources to users, see the SnapCenter installation information.
In a DAG, if an active database copy is on a non-NetApp storage and you want to restore from the passive database copy backup that is on a NetApp storage, make the passive copy (NetApp storage) as active copy, refresh the resources and perform the restore operation.
Run the Move-ActiveMailboxDatabase command to make the passive database copy as active database copy.
The Microsoft documentation contains information about this command.
Plug-in for Exchange does not perform a full restore on a disk if the disk contains Exchange files such as those used for replication. When a full restore might impact Exchange functionality, Plug-in for Exchange performs a single file restore operation.
You should monitor the restore process by using the
page.When you restore an active database from a backup, the passive database might go into suspended or failed state if there is a lag between the replica and the active database. The state change can occur when the active database's log chain forks and begins a new branch which breaks replication. Exchange Server attempts to fix the replica, but if it is unable to do so, after restore, you should create a fresh backup, and then reseed the replica.
