Use the Restore-Exchange cmdlet with the following syntax to restore a database to the source location (normal restore):
[<configuration_object>] | Restore-Exchange -NormalRestore {-BackupID <backup_ID> [-Identity <identity>] | -Backup <backup_object>} -ClientName <FQDN_of_Exchange_Server> -DataDomainHost <Data_Domain_hostname> -DataDomainHostPath /<Data_Domain_storage_path> -DataDomainUser <Data_Domain_username> <optional_parameters>
Note: For Data Manager centralized and self-service workflows, run the Import-ExchangeBackupConfigFile cmdlet with the -Restore parameter to import the configuration parameters to the object.
Restore-Exchange -NormalRestore -BackupID msapp_bbb: 1458138556 -Identity TestDB -ClientName myDD.msapp.com -DataDomainHost ledmd035.lss.example.com -DataDomainHostPath /SU_DD163 -DataDomainUser DD163_user
