If you are doing a full restore, forget about the mailbox backups. Just
restore the IS and DS.

AFAIK, You need to re-create the mailbox before you can restore it. I don't
use BLBs, but that is a place to start.

Also, if this is a new install of Exchange, then you also need to grant the
BackupExec Service Account the appropriate rights within Exchange.

I have fixed the problem. It could not user the main Admin accout for some
reason. Created a new one and it is fine now. However when it restored the
mailboxes, when you go into outlook the contacts are greyed out for every
user and you have to go into every contact and File by again. That fixes
that problem - however new problem now the email address are gone for every
contact and it cannot fined the address book. Does anyone know where the
contact address are kept, are they kept in the mailbox on the exchange
server, or somewhere else on the exchange server.

I'm running v8.5 and exch5.5. When I delete one or more mailboxes on Exchange
and restore them by first recreating the mailbox and then restoring, it works
fine. What I'm having trouble with is restoring the mailbox without having
to recreate it. I've tried restoring the DS andIS (suggestion from item
36651: Problem restoring Mailboxes), but that doesn't seem to work. I've
also tried restoring the mailboxes alone and w/ all posible combinations
of restoring w/ DS and IS. Also, when I do restore the IS and DS, the only
I can restart MSEXchAdmin is to run the Service pack 3. But my main concern
are the mailboxes. Anyone else run into this quirk?? Any suggestions are
welcome. Thank you.
