Tony, this is from the TDP for Exchange help file:

The Exchange Application Client communicates with TSM using the TSM
Application Program Interface (API) and with the Exchange Server using the
Exchange API.

XADM: Recovering a Single Mailbox from the Online Backup (Q163713)

SUMMARY
A single mailbox can be recovered from the online backup without having to
put the production Microsoft Exchange Server computer offline.

MORE INFORMATION
To recover the mailbox, you must have a Windows NT computer with enough
capacity to install Microsoft Exchange Server and to restore the entire
private information store database. The following outlines the procedure for
single mailbox recovery from the online backup.

XADM: Overview of Maintenance, Backup, and Disaster Recovery for Exchange
Server (Q272234)

Restoring Individual Items in a Mailbox
Sometimes users delete messages but later realize that they should not have
deleted them. Because Exchange Server handles backup and restore procedures
at the physical page layer, not at the mailbox level, you cannot easily
restore individual messages in a mailbox from backup. Some third-party
backup programs do allow you to do a "brick backup"; however, they do not
use the Exchange Server backup and restore application programming
interfaces (APIs) and typically do not perform as well as backups at the
physical page layer do.

However, there is a way for users to recover messages that they have deleted
from a mailbox without having to resort to backups. The Recover Deleted
Items feature that comes with Exchange Server 5.5 lets a user retrieve
messages from the Deleted Items folder in Outlook if you enable the feature
on the server. Note that if you do enable the Recover Deleted Items feature,
the server will require additional disk resources to store the deleted
items.

In a future release, Exchange Server will be extended to allow applications
to recover messages even after they have been permanently deleted from the
system.
