I wouldn't speak in such ABSOLUTE terms.  Mailbox level backups as your
primary backup is not prudent, but it may be worth a companies time and
other resources to do mailbox level backups in addition to daily full
backups to better serve their customers.  However, I've become accustom to
restoring mailboxes the Tivoli way (full IS restore) because of the speed of
the restore.
