@Jeremy That error might just be noise. Make sure that the media agent you selected when creating the recovery point has all the prereqs

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your reply! The prereqs all look good, the only difference is the outlook version, we have a 2016 version installed instead of the 2010 or 2013 version, but I fail to see why this would block the mount action.

If it keeps failing, we might just have to restore the entire 1TB database and recover messages from it.

Correct outlook version would not matter, you can attempt to mount the snap to the MA used for live browse to see if that is where the failure is occurring This link shows vsa but backup agent does not matter steps are identical

Hi Scott,

That seems to be working! Also I’m afraid I was too quick to go over the prereqs, I do notice the “ Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4” missing from the Media Agent. I will get in touch with my colleague to have this installed and retry creating the recovery point.

I’ll make sure to update this post afterwards.

@Jeremy Okay great sound good, that is common missing item on the MA.

We know snapshots can mount so most likely that C++

If you still have issue, I suggest opening a case so logs can be reviewed.

@Jeremy 

Did this resolve your issue?

Hi Scott,

Unfortunately not. As a workaround, we had to restore the entire database to recover the e-mail.
