You are correct that there is no functionality in Exchange to do this.
Microsoft's solution for individual mailbox restores is to restore the
entire database to a separate machine and export the mailbox. I believe that
Arcserve claims to have the ability to do this "bricks level" backup and
restore but essentially it does the same thing - it exports every mailbox to
a .pst and backs up the individual .pst files - this is extremely time
consuming - prohibitively so for more than a few mailboxes. I have not heard
of any other way to do it.

Subject: Exchange Mailbox restores
We recently moved to exchange and have implemented the TDP for Exchange. It
works fine but managment is concerened of the fact that we cannot do
individual mailbox restores like we were able to do in Notes. I am aware
that there is no Microsoft API that allows this (or am I wrong). I've read
about some of you that are using products that allow mailbox restores under
Exchange but most of what I have read has been negative. i.e.- Its slow, It
uses a non MS method, Its unreliable, all of the above, etc,etc....
My questions are:
Is there anything new available from Tivoli or another vendor that
will allow exchange mailbox restores?
What are your opinions of these products?
Anybody using Legato with this capability?
What do you think of it?
I would really appreciate any input from anyone
Thanks
Jack
