How to Create the Recovery Storage Group

In Exchange System Manager, right-click the server on which you intend to place the recovery storage group, point to New, and click Recovery Storage Group.

Name the recovery storage group and set the transaction log location and the system path location (see the following figure). Remember that if the server does not already have a storage group with a name identical to the name of the storage group of the database to be restored, you must give that name to the recovery storage group.
