9. On the next "Restore Type" screen, select one of the following options:
* *Restore to Original Location* \- The current database files will be overwritten during the restore.
* *Restore to Alternate Location* \- This option requires mapping the selected Exchange databases from the Recovery Point to the existing target Exchange databases.

In our example, we choose the "Restore to Alternate Location" option, as we are later going to attach files to an Exchange Recovery Group.

Click the "Next" button.
