Explanation | |
Mismatched log files have been detected. You are restoring to a recovery server that has a different set of log files. Log file replay cannot succeed unless all signatures match. You will receive the following phrase in the event Description: Information Store (number) The log signature of the existing logfile E0n.log does not match the logfiles from the backup set. Logfile replay cannot succeed unless all signatures match. The basic reason for the event is that the E0n.log file (the current log file for the storage group, such as E00.log) has a different log signature than the log files that have been restored from the online restore. A typical scenario for this to happen is as follows. All the information store service files have been removed. In order to restore an online backup of an Exchange computer, you must have the Microsoft Information Store running. If you have not checked “Do not mount this store at start-up” on the Database tab, and you start the Information Store service, then a new E00.log file is created. The log signature for this file does not match the signatures of the log files from the backup, and the Information Store fails to replay logs and mount the databases. |
