This article describes how to restore a Microsoft Exchange database that was previously backed up by R1Soft CDP.
{info:title=Tip}Exchange 2010 no longer includes the concept of Storage Groups. In earlier versions of Exchange, one or more Exchange database could be grouped into a Storage Group, which could then be managed as a unit. Because Storage Groups were removed from Exchange Server 2010, a *recovery database* can be used instead.

In order to restore a database, follow the instructions below.

1. Click on "Recovery Points" in the Main Menu to open the "Recovery Points" window.

9. On the next "Restore Type" screen, select one of the following options:
* *Restore to Original Location* \- The current database files will be overwritten during the restore.
* *Restore to Alternate Location* \- This option requires mapping the selected Exchange databases from the Recovery Point to the existing target Exchange databases.

In our example, we choose the "Restore to Alternate Location" option, as we are later going to attach files to an Exchange Recovery Group.

Click the "Next" button.
