Using TSM to restore a mailbox
We are in the process of transitioning from Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2007. Our TSM server is at 5.5.4.1 (we are going to 6.x within 6 months or so). We are currently doing legacy backups using the 5.x TDP for Exchange. We plan to start out doing legacy backups with the 6.x TDP on the new server and then switch over to VSS once we get the 6.x TSM server up and running. Currently if a user "accidently" deletes something from their mailbox we use a product called Exchange Recovery Manager from a company called Quest. I do a TSM restore of an older Exchange backup into the Quest recovery manager and I can then bring back whatever the user lost. We have never used the Quest product as a part of our DR plan, we only use it for "accident" prone users. At this point we are just learning about all the new features in Exchange 2007 and one of the items we are looking at is the Recovery Storage Group within Exchange 2007. It appears that we can use that group to do essentially the same thing as the Quest product for our "accident" prone users. It looks like we can do a restore from backup into the Recovery Storage Group and then restore mailboxes and or emails. Are we going down the right road or our we completely off base here?

Re: Using TSM to restore a mailbox
Hi David, Also, keep in mind that Data Protection for Exchange added Individual Mailbox Restore (IMR) and individual item-level in Data Protection for Exchange 6.1. It accomplishes this through use of the Recovery Storage Group on Exchange Server 2007. It automates the entire process for you. You can see more details in the Data Protection for Exchange Server Installation and User’s Guide: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27018572 If you still prefer Quest Recovery Manager, you can perform a Data Protection for Exchange "RESTOREFILES" command to restore your legacy backup (.EDB and .LOG files) to an alternate directory and then use Quest Recovery Manager to extract the items you want.

Re: Using TSM to restore a mailbox
Nice. Have you seen something similar using TSM?
