Hi exchange gurus!
I am working on testing LAgged DB copy in Exchange 2013. What I've done:
1. Configured lagged passive copy by running set-mailboxdatabasecopy .... -replaylagtime 2 (similar to what we have on transport), I didn't use -truncate option (is that important? Or default value is fine?)
Then during the next 2 days I've sent some email messages to the mailbox that is hosted by the active DB copy.
Then on third day I have deleted all the messages from the mailbox.
I followed this article (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd979786(v=exchg.150).aspx), and used the (Use the Shell to activate a lagged mailbox database copy to a specific point in time) passive lagged copy, replayed the logs (step by step like in the article), then resumed the passive lagged copy and activated it. I have then waited until all statuses say healthy and made sure that lagged DB copy was mounted. I have checked the user mailbox and none of the messages from the previous 2 days were there.
I know I am doing something wrong but I don't know what since this is my first experience with lagged copies. From this article (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/17881.lagged-mailbox-database-copy-exchange-2013-enhancements.aspx) it sounds like when I do what I did above the mailbox was supposed to be populated with email messages from 2 pevious days but this didn't happen.
Please advise.
