Hi there

I couldn't help notice'ing that you have a quite big Exchange database,  we
are currently moving our Exchange backups to ADSM backup, and we keep
wondering if one really has to restore the whole database to recover one
mailbox, or even one item.  I know this is a limitation in Exchange, but
isn't there a way around it?  For example, some dopehead delete's his
mailbox, would you restore 100GB of data?


best regards
