Restore to Different User

[JaxIsland7575]

A user needs to transfer a huge amount of Exchange email folders to a different user, my thought is to use the latest backup, then restore the folders to a different users mailbox. Is this possible? I know I could save it as a .pst then import into the new user, I was just wondering if there was a mechanism or a way to do this with VBR so I don't have to contact the end users. I have done plenty of restores back to original locations, but never do a different user. Thanks for any insight!

Cheers

Ryan, yes, this is possible. Provided you have sufficient rights, you can restore items/folders to any mailbox on the server (just specify the target mailbox in the restore wizard). Thanks.

Thanks foggy,
I am running a quick backup to get the most current, then I will try the restore. I figured it was possible but I wanted to check.

Cheers!

So I am trying the restore and it does not work. It says a possible permissions issue, but I tried using the account that took the backup and that didn't work, so I tried to domain admin account and that didn't work. The domain admin account has all the permissions but it still fails. Any ideas?

Thanks!

It might some environmental problem. So, it's better to contact our support team and let them analyze that directly. Thanks.

Vladimir,
Thank you for the reply, before I left for the weekend I set my admin account to Full Access on the destination mailbox in Exchange. When I retried this morning it worked without issue.

Cheers!

Right, to be able to perform such restores, you need to grant administrator account full mailbox access rights on Exchange server.

Alexander,
I think the permissions did not propagate very quickly and once I waited it worked without issue.

Cheers!
