Neil,

Backup Exec (from at least v8.5) can backup individual mailboxes if the
Exchange Backup Agent has been added. This allows either the Information
Store to be backed up, or individual mailboxes, or both. As for the
Exchange TDP, I have never seen an option to backup individual mailboxes.
If we need to restore a mailbox, we restore the Exchange  to separate
hardware and restore from this new server.

Regards,

Ok, I have TDP for Exchange v2.2 backing up the databases on
Exchange5.5. We were using Backup-Exec previously, and the NT
adminstrator tells me they backed up and restored mailboxes
individually. I can't find anything about individual mailboxes in the
redbook, does TDP have this option? If not, how would I restore one
user's mailbox without wiping new mail off the server?
