Use the New Mailbox Database wizard to create a new mailbox database. A mailbox database contains user mailboxes.

Use this wizard page to configure the following attributes of a mailbox database.

• Storage group name
  This box shows the name of the storage group that you selected in which to place the new mailbox database.

• Mailbox database name
  Use this box to type the name of the new mailbox database. The name can be up to 64 characters in length and cannot use the following characters:

  \ / " = , ;

• Database file path
  This box shows where the new mailbox database will be created. Click Browse to select a location.

• Mount this database
  Select this check box to mount the mailbox database immediately after it is created. Mounting a database puts it online, thereby making its data available to customers.

• Local continuous replication database file path

  • This box appears only if local continuous replication (LCR) is enabled for the storage group in which the mailbox database will be created.

  • This box displays the location of the backup copy of the database file (.edb). Click Browse to select a new location for the backup database file.

  • For information about enabling local continuous replication for a storage group, see Managing Local Continuous Replication.
