Obtaining Database Files Manually

To obtain the database from the VM backup, you can use any data recovery feature available in Veeam Backup & Replication, such as Instant VM Recovery, full VM restore, restore of guest OS files from a replica and so on. However, the most convenient method is to use the guest OS file-level recovery option.

To obtain a Microsoft Exchange database manually:

1. Perform guest OS files restore for the virtualized Microsoft Exchange server.
2. In the Veeam Backup browser, double-click the .edb file, or on the Home tab of the ribbon menu, select Application Items > Exchange Items.
3. The selected database will be open in Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange, so that you can browse the database and restore the items you need.  To learn more, see Browsing, Searching and Viewing Items.
