Exchange Restore With Different DB Name

[Mykul]

I amin the process of trying to restore a Exchange 2003 Storage Group/Mailbox Store. The data that I am trying to restore is from a year ago. Though in the time the backup was performed and the time of the restore I have re-organized and re-named the mailbox stores inside of the storage groups. The issue that I am having is that Networker for Exchange wants the exact same naming convention for the previous storage group for the Recovery Storage Group but I do not have that. When I do try to run the restore with the groups that I have I get the error "recovery storage group does not contain victim database".
What are my options in this situation? Please advise. Thanks!

The easiest way is to recreate your old database in Exchange.
Now prepare your RSG for this database and restore your old backup in this RSG.
The export the mailboxes you need to recover with exmerge und reimport them with xmerge in the new databases.
More convinient but expensive than xmerge is powercontrol from kroll/ontrack.

Thanks for the info. I ended up re-creating the DB in Exchange and it worked.
