Case #07576966 — Recovered Exchange Server 2016 but restore missed items creates duplicates

[Thierry-FR]

Hello, following a crash of a mail server, we carried out a crash recovery. Everything works correctly except that 5 days of messages are missing. We have these five days of messages in Veeam Backup & Replication. From the GUI, I cannot select a date range if I want to reinject the missing items. I would like to know if it is possible in Veeam PowerShell to reinject messages from one of the backup points by specifying a date range. Indeed, when I carry out a restore from the GUI, I have all the items that are restored and that is fine but Outlook shows duplicates for the restored items.

Thank you in advance !

Hi Thierry,

I think you should either open the restore points within the necessary time range manually or create a script based on this cmdlet.

Thanks!

Thank you PetrM !

I'm built this script but i missing an information :
Import-Module Veeam.Backup.PowerShell
$restorePoint = Get-VBRApplicationRestorePoint -Exchange | Where-Object { $_.Id -eq "00006cea-257d-4411-a137-39012ee5671d" }
$session = Start-VBRExchangeItemRestoreSession -RestorePoint $restorePoint
$database = Get-VEXDatabase -Session $session | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "xxx.edb" }
$mailboxes = Get-VEXMailbox -Database $database
$mailbox = $mailboxes | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "John Doe" }

I would like to restore the last five days from the restore point but i don't know how I can set the value 5 or 5days or anything with the argument RestoreItemsForLastDays. It should be an int32 (RTFM) but dont know how I can specify the values !

Restore-VEXItem -Mailbox $mailbox -TargetMailbox "john@doe.com" -RestoreItemsForLastDays

Thank you !

Hi Thierry,

The parameter -RestoreItemsForLastDays applies only to cases involving multiple objects restore, for example:

Code: Select all

Restore-VEXItem -MultipleMailboxes $mailboxes[3] -Server Exchange.domain.local -Credential $creds -RestoreItemsForLastDays 5 -RestoreChangedItem

Thanks!

Hi PetrM,

You mean I can use for example a powershell command upstream to create a variable containing an array with for example two mailboxes and then use this variable?

Hi Thierry,

Yes, I think you can try it.

Thanks!
