Tivoli refuses to use non-Microsoft-standard APIs to do TSM work...for
which I am eternally grateful. Using such non-standard stuff is what
gets Legato, Veritas, and ArcServe in such hot water when an MS
service pack or hot fix is applied.

MS Exchange APIs do *not* support individual mailbox ("brick-level")
restores. What non-TSM backup apps use to get around this is (usually)
the Exchange messaging API, which was *not* built for backups/restores
and which are incredibly slow and buggy when used for such.
