Steps to be followed Post Successful Restore:

Once the database has been restored to RSG either merge missing emails from a mailbox from RSG to the production mailbox (this will restore all the missing emails without giving an option to restore individual emails) or use the Restore-Mailbox cmdlet to copy end-user data from a recovery storage group on any server running Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 to the same/any other Exchange 2007 server.
The Restore-Mailbox cmdlet can only use disconnected mailboxes from a recovery storage group on a server as a source of data and connected mailboxes as a target for data. To execute this command successfully ensure that the following conditions are met:
A. To run the Restore-Mailbox cmdlet, the account must be delegated the following:
B. The recovered and source databases must be from an Exchange 2007 server.
The syntax to run the command is listed below:
Restore-Mailbox -Identity <target mailbox> -RSGDatabase <Name of the Database added to the RSG> -RSGMailbox <source mailbox> -TargetFolder <folder to which you want to restore the mails to>
