Restore of Microsoft Exchange Mailstore(s) fail with 0xe000fe7a error in the job log
Exact Error Message
Final error: 0xe000fe7a - An error occurred while accessing Microsoft Exchange Server. Check the application event log on the Exchange Server for more
details.
Information Store (272) , Unable to read the header of logfile , Error -530.

Details:
Instead of writing to the defined temp folder using \storagegroupname\logfile.log path it misses out on the \ and writes storagegroupnamelogfile.log to the root of the path. This will happen for a random selection of the log files. This causes the restore to fail when a hard recovery is performed and the log files from the tape is being committed. This is because the incorrectly named log files will be missing in the sequence for the log files that are written to the correct path.
This will typically just happen on cross domain restores.

Workaround:
1. Run the restore job without the commit option selected and then rename the logfiles to be of the correct name and move them to the \Storeagegroup name temp folder.
Note: The files you will need to rename and move is located at the root of temporary folder specified in Tools ¦ Options ¦ Exchange ¦ "Temporary location for patch and log files".

2. Then run eseutil /cc to commit the restored log files and then mount the store(s).
Note: Make sure to follow Microsoft's documentation on how to run the eseutil tool.
If it fails to write all the needed log files during the restore process to the temporary path, this workaround will not work.
OR
Another possibility is to use a Backup Exec for Windows Media server in the same domain as the Exchange server being restored to for the restore job.

The hotfix for this issue is included in SP4 for Backup Exec for Windows version 10d.
