Objective 6.2 Exchange 2010 Flashcards
Objective 6.2: Perform backup and restore of data
The exam might test that you know that a ______ is a mailbox database that you can use to mount a restored mailbox database and extract data from the restored database as part of a recovery operation.
Recovery Database (RDB)
You are expected to know the various features and limits of an RDB. For example: ______.
- All client protocol access to a RDB (including SMTP, POP3, and IMAP4) is blocked.
- RDB mailboxes cannot be connected to user accounts.
- MAPI access to a RDB is available only to recovery tools and applications.
- A RDB cannot be deleted by the system during the recovery process.
- You cannot use a RDB to recover public folder data.
- You can mount only one RDB on a Mailbox server at any time.
- A RDB can be used to recover Exchange Server mailbox databases only.
You can use the EMS ______ cmdlet to extract data from an RDB. After extraction, the data can be exported to a folder or merged into an existing mailbox.
Restore-Mailbox
Before you can move a recovered or restored mailbox database into an RDB and then extract data from the recovered database, you first need to create an RDB for this purpose. You use the EMS ______ cmdlet to create an RDB.
New-MailboxDatabase
The following command creates the RDB RecoverDB on the Mailbox server VAN-EX1: ______.
New-MailboxDatabase -Recovery -Name RecoverDB -Server VAN-EX1
You use an RDB in the following scenarios: ______.
- Same-server dialtone recovery
- Alternate-server dialtone recovery
- Mailbox recovery
- Specific item recovery
You should not use an RDB in the following four scenarios: ______.
- when you are recovering public folder content,
- when you need to restore entire servers,
- when you need to restore multiple databases, or
- when you need to change or rebuild your Active Directory topology.
All databases restored to an alternate restore location are in a dirty shutdown state, by default; you need to use the ______ tool in recover mode to put the database in a clean shutdown state before moving the restored database data into an RDB.
Eseutil
You use the Eseutil tool to put a mailbox database in a clean shutdown state. You use the ______ tool to repair a mailbox database but not to bring a mailbox database that is in a dirty shutdown state into a clean shutdown state. No EMS cmdlet can be used to put a mailbox database in a clean shutdown state.
Isinteg
The exam might test that you know how portability enables a user to have a mailbox in a ______ database for sending and receiving email while her original mailbox is being restored or repaired, and that during this time, clients that support Autodiscover, such as Outlook 2010, are automatically redirected to the new server without the need to manually update the user’s desktop profile.
dialtone
You should be aware that the recovery process using dialtone portability is called a ______.
dialtone recovery
A dialtone recovery involves creating an ______ database (the dialtone database) on a Mailbox server to replace a failed database. Any mailboxes that are available in the database being recovered are copied into the dialtone database. The dialtone database is now operating as the recovered production database.
empty
The following command creates a dialtone database named MyDialToneDB on the Mailbox server VAN-EX1: ______.
New-MailboxDatabase -Name MyDialToneDB –Server VAN-EX1 -EdbFilePath C:\DialTone\MyDialToneDB.edb
The following command transfers the user mailboxes hosted on the database being recovered (for example, MyOriginalDB) into the dialtone database: ______.
Get-Mailbox -Database MyOriginalDB | Set-Mailbox -Database MyDialToneDB
After the failed database is recovered and moved into the RDB (for example, RecoverDB), the data from the RDB is merged into the dialtone database. You would use a command similar to the following: ______.
Get-Mailbox -Database MyDialToneDB | Restore-Mailbox -RecoveryDatabase RecoverDB
The exam might test that you know that by using deleted mailbox retention, you can recover mailboxes after they have been ______ (or disconnected) without the need to restore them from backup.
removed
You can use the EMS ______ cmdlet to configure the deleted mailbox retention period.
Set-MailboxDatabase
