I am doing a DRP test on Exchange 2007 running on Windows 64BIT SP2. I am faced with a problem - When restoring the edb files and logs I get error Connection to restore target has been lost. I am using backup exec 12. I have pushed the Windows remote agent from the backup server. I have full admin rights to the new exchange server. I have checked the drive partitions. Kindly assist.

There are a number of possible issues here.

  • Are the servers that same names
  • Is the Exchange Organization name the same
  • Are the databases in the same location,
  • If not are you restoring to an alternative location
  • Are all the Exchange Services running.
  • Have you dismounted the databases?

Ignoring the possible Backup Exec issues, you should not be directly backing up the EDB and LOG files unless the existing database had been dismounted on the previous server.

I would recommend reading the Exchange 2007 DR on TechNet regarding this topic.
