I am attempting to restore our exchange 2000 server to a new instalation. I have selected to restore just the public folders in the 1st storage group. The Public Folders have been dismounted. I receive an error in the application log that the "database can not be overwritten". I am using ntbackup that came with our WIN2K Server. Any advice would be appreciated. (The same results occur with restor of just the private mailboxes as well)
