Well... "storage groups" is a term specific to Exchange 2000 or later;
Exchange 5.5 has only the directory store (DS) and information store (IS).
The backups (and restores) on 5.5 are restricted to either/both of those two
components... for good reasons -- performance and integrity. In Exchange
2000, there is a reserved storage group (0); if you need to recover a given
user's mailbox, you restore the group he's in, using the group-0, then
extract to .PST. In Exchange 5.5, you needed to have a separate, warm
stand-by machine to restore the entire IS.
NEW NEWS: There is now (or soon to be) a special, adjunct product from
Microsoft to support mailbox restores, using a "scan" of the storage group
containing the user in question. It was discussed at SHARE in SF, will come
out in the proceedings (for members) in a few weeks.
Watch for MS ExMerge, a tool to extract mailboxes from Exchange server to
.PST files, then use b/a client to backup. Alternatively, check out the
combination of TSM for Mail, ExMerge and IBM's CommonStore product (usually
used for long-term archiving). Check out these MS TechNet articles...

Hi people ...
Last Monday I installed the Tivoli Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange
2.2 in a Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
I configured all the files and I can see the "Directory Information" and
the "Storage Groups" as all. My question is: Is possible to make a backup
only a one exchange base of one person, I need to make a backup to
selective mailbox??? If the response is "yes" .. How do this, because only
I can see as groups of all mailbox.
Thank you very much for yours help, I appreciated that very much.
Best Regards.
