There are several articles in KB discussing NsrClusterForceRecover to be set in such case (also NsrClusterNewQuorumDrive is quorum drive has changed). Check those.

Select them all and run restore. After that you will need to restart the machine.

I have to install drivers for FC that connect QuorumDrive before restore??

I assume so. It should be written somewhere in DR document.

I assume Wail was mislead by your thread title as that has nothing to do with Exchange restore....

I download 'Networker 7.3 disaster Recovery Guide'. chapter 8 'Microsoft Cluster Disaster Recovery'. But 'Networker 7.5 disaster Recovery Guide' this chapter is not available.

That section was moved to NMM docs now. Not sure how to interpret that (I guess with CCR you must get NMM to be able to get things back correctly).

Hello all,

I am having the same difficulty.

If this is an Exchange CCR environment, the only NetWorker tool that will protect it is NMM.
