Mark, TDP for Exchange uses the TSM API to send and receive data from the TSM Server. The TSM API does not support backup sets. In order for TDPs to take advantage of backup sets, it will need the TSM API to support backup sets. The TSM BA client does not "understand" the data stream that the TDPs generate, so it cannot be used to restore the data either. If you did not use TDP for Exchange for backup, i.e., you shut down your Exchange server, did a file level backup of the Exchange files... ...then you can probably get it to work... but TDP for Exchange is not involved and many people cannot afford shutting down the Exchange server for backups. It is a known requirement that customers would like the TDPs to take advantage of backup sets.
