Customer Setting: |
After an employee leaves a company, even though his active mailbox might be disabled or deleted, admins can still recover data from previous backups through the RSG. The way to do this is to recover the backup to the RSG database, and from there restore the user’s mailbox (or part of it using filtering) by specifying the RSGMailbox (points to ex-employee’s mailbox) and a target folder in an admin mailbox. |
Customer Goal: |
Ability to recover data from RSG mailboxes that do not have an active mailbox counterpart. Data is to be recovered to a folder inside another user’s active mailbox. |
Parameters |
-Identity, -TargetFolder, -RSGDatabase, -RSGMailbox |
