h3. 1. Create a Recovery Database

3. Use the {{New-MailboxDatabase}} command to create a mailbox database object in the database container in the Active Directory. For detailed syntax and parameter information, see [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997976(v=EXCHG.140).aspx|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997976%28v=EXCHG.140%29.aspx].
In our example, we restore the {{C:\test\RecoveryDB.edb}} file using the following command:
{code}
New-MailboxDatabase -Recovery -Name RecoveryDB -Server XCHG -EdbFilePath C:\test\RecoveryDB.edb -LogFolderPath C:\test\logs
{code}

h3. 2. Use CDP Restore
Use CDP to restore a Microsoft Exchange 2010 Mailbox to an alternate location. See details in [Restoring a Microsoft Exchange 2010 Database to an Alternate Location|Restoring a Microsoft Exchange 2010 Database to an Alternate Location].
{note:title=Notice}Use the database created above to map against the Recovery Point Exchange database. {note}
----
h3. 3. Mount the Recovery Database
Mount the database if it was not already mounted by the CDP alternate restore.
To mount "RecoveryDB," use the {{Mount-Database}} command. For detailed syntax and parameter information, see [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998871(v=EXCHG.140).aspx]. In our example, we use the following command:
{code}
Mount-Database "RecoveryDB"
{code}

1. Use the {{Get-MailboxStatistics}} command to obtain information about a mailbox, such as the size of the mailbox, the number of messages it contains, and the last time it was accessed. For detailed syntax and parameter information, see [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124612%28ru-ru,EXCHG.140%29.aspx].

2. Extract mailbox content from a restored database using the "{{Restore-Mailbox}}" command. The {{\-RecoveryDatabase}} parameter specifies the recovery database from which you are restoring the mailbox. In the following example, we restore a "MargeSimpson" mailbox. More parameters for "{{Restore-Mailbox}}" can be found here: [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125218.aspx]
