How use Powershell, for Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange ?

[a.mikhalevskii]

Hello. Our infrastructure has been encrypted. Now we want to restore the Exchange databases. We have the files, Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange sees the databases perfectly and can restore to a new Exchange mailbox. 70 bases, 1500 people. I don't want to do this manually. Is there any way to automate the process ? When I open the base using Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange, Powershell does not return any arguments.

The following commnadlets return nothing:

Start-VBRExchangeItemRestoreSession
Get-VBRExchangeItemRestoreSession

Hello Andrei

Now we want to restore the Exchange databases. We have the files, Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange sees the databases perfectly and can restore to a new Exchange mailbox.

Which files exactly? Are you trying to open a database file directly with Veeam Explorer for Exchange or is it a recovery from Veeam backup files?

Those PowerShell commands only works with Veeam Backup files. You need to start a restore session from a Veeam Restore Point first.
Do you have any output when using Get-VBRApplicationRestorePoint? If Veeam doesn't know about restore points with protected exchange inside, the cmdlet Start-VBRExchangeItemRestoreSession has nothing to start:

Code: Select all

$restorepoint = Get-VBRApplicationRestorePoint -Exchange
Start-VBRExchangeItemRestoreSession -RestorePoint $restorepoint[0]

Best,
Fabian

Are you trying to open a database file directly with Veeam Explorer for Exchange

Yes. I won't be able to retrieve the data using Powershell?

Do you have any output when using Get-VBRApplicationRestorePoint?

No

PowerShell only works for application aware backups in our Veeam restore points. If you open an EDB file with the Explorer, you only can use the UI.
