If the option of restoring an individual Exchange item directly from the Exchange backup is not available, then the restore may be performed from a previously restored Exchange backup. After an Exchange backup has been restored, KOP or a third-party tool (e.g., Lucid8) may be used to search and recover individual Exchange items. Note that unlike KOP, third-party tools are certified and supported by third parties and not Unitrends.
There are two classes of restore targets in this situation: the restore of the Exchange backup may be performed to the Unitrends system or the restore of the Exchange backup may be performed to a customer’s Windows system. The advantage to restoring the Exchange backup to the Unitrends system is that typically the restore will be faster because there is no network bandwidth overhead that must be incurred.
