Daniel,

I spoke with Steve... there was a misunderstanding on exactly
what was going on...

The bottom line is that there is nothing in plan to
ship brick level backup and restore support for
TDP for Exchange right now.

However... we do know that item level backup/restore is
something some of our customers would like (even with the
scalability issues). We are still looking into this for
the future...                     ------------

Microsoft is doing some very aggressive things with Exchange,
which I am sure you heard...like rebasing to the SQL server
database... and so we want to make sure what we do in this
area is the correct long-term thing for everyone.

We are working with Microsoft development to stay on top of this.

Thanks,

Del
