Just to add to this, one of the advertised components of TSM server 5.1.5 is the ability to mailbox restores with the addition of some add-on or variation of the Xmerge utility.
Del, feel free to correct me on that one, but I do remember that in our presentation of TSM server 5.1 and beyond.

If you are talking about the calendar and other little goodies including public folders, none do that except maybe CommVault. And, I do not think they can do the public folders. The thing that Veritas and Arcserver created are for marketing only and really are so slow you can only use it for a few select mailboxes. None replace the normal exchange backups that you have to do to be able to recover the exchange stores. I found out just yesterday that Exchange 2000 has a reserved area you can restore an information store to. Once you have done that you can truly recover a mailbox and its contents. This was Microsoft's answer to the problem. But, Exchange 2000 requires active directory and other hurdles to get there. However, my Exchange boys point out you must not put any mailboxes you might want to recover in the "base" information store because that one cannot be restored to the reserve area. That one has all the exchange specific extensions to active directory. Paul D.

There are only 2 other outside vendors that back up bricks, 1.) Veritas 2.) Arcserve2000 The only way to do individual folder recovery (i.e. Inbox, or Sent items, etc..) is to export to a PST file then back up that file. -----Original Message----- From: McMullen David E [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 10:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TSM and MS Exchange We are evaluating TSM here and a question came up with regard to TSM and Exchange. Will TSM backup and restore individual mailboxes?
