What we do to handle this is a little different since brick level backup of 
exchange is slooooow

We restore the full database from the latest full-backup (we only use full 
backps) to a server/workstation that has/had exchange installed (but not 
active) and then we use a toll called Ontrack to pull out the objects we 
need. Ontrack doesn't cost much and it's a simple and great tool.
