Nice. Have you seen something similar using TSM?

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.
