TDP for Exchange version 6.1 should be able to restore only selected
items from a full mailstore backup into your RSG. But, I wouldn't be
surprised if it had to retrieve all data from the TSM server in order
to be able to leave out the undesired data. It's not the TSM server
that does the filtering, it's the TDP on the client. So if you had to
restore 1 single mail item from a 1TB mailstore, yes that would mean
transferring 1TB of data, just to restore one single item.

Now, if that is not what you want, look into FastBack for exchange.
That works in a completely different way, and is able to recover
Exchange much faster, but then again, it stores all backup data on
disk....

Subject: [ADSM-L] TDP for Exchnage 6.1 mailbox restore

Hello All,

Thanks for your help.


I am implementing the TDP for Exchange. We have it installed and did a
manual backup successfully. When we try to reetore a mailbox, it
forces us
to use a Recovery Storage Group in Exchange as the target. We chose a
specific email in the filter section and were expecting a restre of
what we
were searching for. Instead, the restore seems to be building a
whole new
database, It wa sup to 14GB when we stopped it. It seem like
nonsense to
restore the whole storage group just to restore a single mail box.
Is this
required.
