How You Recover Damaged Mirror and Primary Databases

If the BES mirror database becomes damaged, you should recover both the BES primary database and the BES mirror database using the same latest backup copy. You cannot recover the mirror database from the primary database. You must recover the mirror database from a backup of the mirror database. You can perform one of the following procedures:

• Perform a restore twice.

  Note: For a procedure to do this, see Restore Databases from a Mirror Database Backup.

• Restore the BES mirror database and then recreate the BES primary database.

  Note: For a procedure to do this, see Restore Damaged Mirror Database and Recreate Primary Database.

The objective is that before you start BES, both databases must have the same content.
