Hi Paul,
when using windows server backup to restore exchange 2013 database by selecting “application” , do you not have to login to management console and select “This database can be overwritten by a restore”?

Best answer I have found to explain
“Note the tick box for choosing whether to *not* perform a roll-forward recovery of the application databases. Because we *do* want a roll-forward recovery to be performed in this case (ie, replay the transaction logs for transactions that occurred since the last backup, since they are still available on the server) we will leave this tick box *unticked*.

Mahalo!

Hi Paul, I have DB01 that is created during Exchange setup and that is the first DB I have. However somehow I lost the db01.edb file and administrator user exist in this db, so I cannot delete the database. Can you please share your thoughts how can I recover my database?

Thanks,
Pallavi
