Exchange Granular Recovery Technology (GRT) backup to tape does not display the mailboxes in the restore selections for users that reside in a domain other than the Exchange server(s) domain.
Details:
Mailboxes from a domain other than the Exchange server(s) domain are not visible in restore selections when the backup is performed to tape using Granular Restore Technology (GRT) option. If the same backup is run to Backup to Disk folder (B2D), all users are visible for restore. Additionally, if the original backup job is duplicated from tape to B2D, all of the mailboxes from the parent and child domains are visible.

This issue has been observed with Exchange 2000, 2003 and 2007.

Workarounds:

  • Backup directly to Backup to Disk folder.
  • A Duplicate job can be run from tape to Backup to Disk folder to restore an individual item if needed.
