Silly questions maybe, but ...

After your test recovery..  are items being picked up from the journal mailbox?  Is the indexing service running?  Are the indexes and journal vault stores both back out of backup-mode?

You may also want to run a synchronization against the journal indexes anyway which is good practice after a DR scenario as well

But agreed with rob, sounds like its just in a read only state

It makes sense that it would still be in backup mode after the restore.  I just confirmed that it is out of backup mode.  How long should it take for the new items to show up considering there has been no email at all since the backup.  How is the synchronization performed? 

If there has been no email since the backup, then nothing will be in the journal mailbox, and therefore nothing new will be added to the journal archive.

Or am I missing something there?

EV10 index synchronisation is done from the 'Manage Indexes' tool, which you get to by right clicking 'Indexes' in the VAC.

Sorry, I wasn't clear.  There was no mail since the backup except my test emails today.

I just did a synchronize and it took about a minute to run.  Still don't see the new items and the date still ends at the backup time. 

Where have you done the restore/recovery to?

Is journaling on the Exchange-side of things configured in that environment?

If it isn't then sending/receiving a few test emails won't add items to the journal archive.. since there is nothing being journaled by Exchange.

If journaling is enabled on Exchange, then have a look at the journal mailbox.  Are there any items in it?

In the log I see:

Index volume is marked as failed.

Archive Name: Journal Archive
Index Volume ID: 1956A8B1D0F8AC24EAE14D8BDF7AE99471110000archive.domain.com_475
Reason: None
Error Type: FrenzyErrorDetected

Looking in Google-land, the frenzyerrordetected coule be solved by:

However I would expect your production journal archive would be suffering this same problem - simply doing a restore of the environment isn't going to cause the index to be rebuilt.... unless you issued a rebuild request?

Have a look at the Journal Archive index..  is it marked as failed?

The event you referenced above, when was it logged in relation to:

* The backup

* The restore

* The synchronise

* Ingesting new items (your test emails)

The journal archive index is marked as failed.  The event occurred during the synchronize.  But the synchronize said it was successful.

I think it must be some sort of corruption.  The restore process must be flawed.  Restoring 4TB seems to be a challenge.  I notice that when it reboots, it wants to run chkdsk.  I let it run the last time. 

Is a rebuild worth trying?

Don't rebuild, you'll just run in to the same errors
The frenzy being detected means that it had 10,000 errors in 7200 seconds, so you need to find out what those errors are and resolve them.

Its most likely something like path not found for the source DVS files or something like that, once you determine what the errors are and correct them, then resynchronize..but again a rebuild will just give you the same issue

Any way to narrow it down?   The example errors I see specify a CAB file.  Mine doesn't.  Mine is also showing errors 1-25.

Verifying the index volume comes back successful.  I'm not able to verify the index location - it's greyed out.

OK so the questions would be:
What exact version of EV 10 are you running? (Base? SP1? SP2?)
Have you ever been on EV2007 or earlier or did you start with EV8 or above?

I think we'd need to see some actual example errors from your logs to see what is actually going on.
You can test a full dump through EVSVR to see if that helps retrieve the items or narrow the issue down further, my best guess is that its most likely pointing to an invalid path somewhere

So like if you do
USE EnterpriseVaultDirectory
SELECT * FROM PartitionEntry

The partition paths specified there, are they correct and do they exist?
Or did drive letters get changed or were they restored to a slightly different place etc?

I think the restore was not done properly.  It appears that the SQL database was newer than the EV storage partitions.  I need to get a restore from the same point in time for both.
