Restore of a mailbox or folder errors out due to insufficient free space even though there is enough free space on the server hard disks
Symptoms
- Using Acronis Recovery for Microsoft Exchange you are trying to restore a mailbox or folder;
- Acronis Recovery for Microsoft Exchange errors out with a message similar to the following one:
Insufficient free space in the temporary folder (required space: xxxxxxxxx bytes)
Cause

Solution
Switch the temporary folder to a partition with enough space:

- In the main program window select Tools -> Options;
- On the Options window select Default restoration options -> Additional settings;
- Provide a new path in the Temporary folder field.
