The DigiScope "Restore Wizard" allows the operator to Restore/Migrate offline data from the Container (Servers/Groups), Database, Mailbox or Folder level to the same or alternate server, mailbox/location, even cross version i.e. 5.5 → 2000 → 2003 → 2007 → 2010 → 2013 → 2016 → 2019
NOTE 1: The DigiScope Exchange migration tool utilizes a Possible Name Matching algorithm to match source to target and then allows the operator to accept/reject the suggested matches. The operator also has the ability to skip or designate an alternate account for data restoration
NOTE 2: Before restoring/migrating any data you must have Mounted the Offline Sources & Connected to the Production Sources.
NOTE 3: If desired create the appropriate filters to include/exclude specific Mailboxes, Folders, or Items before starting the restore/migration process.
Migrating/Restoring a specific mailbox, folder or item
1. Mount the Offline database and ensure you can connect to the target production server via DSAdmin before starting the Restore/Migration.
2. Right click on the mailbox, folder or item you want to Restore/Migrate and select Restore Wizard.

NOTE: As you can see in the example above there are actually 6 different containers i.e.
- Offline (Top of Tree Container that holds all offline objects | the Restore Wizard is NOT available at this level)
- Lucid8 Demo (Server/Machine Container that holds all Group Containers)
- And 4 different Group Containers with different versions of Exchange Databases
NOTE: If you were to right click and start to restore an Exchange database from the Lucid8 Demo (Server/Machine Container) it would restore all databases within the four groups under that container.
