I have recently upgraded from "TDP for Exchange V1.1" to "TSM for Mail
V5.1.5". The NT TSM Server was also upgraded from V4.1.1.6 to V5.1.6.3 at 
around the same time.

I can no longer see any Exchange backups from pre-upgrade.  Even using the
V1.1 interface.

With a restore request to meet, I am losing the will to live.
I would prefer to not have to build a V4.1.1.6 TSM server just to restore
old backups.

Can anyone tell me if this restore is stil possible??  It worked fine before
the upgrade.

I have read the documentation and searched ADSM, but can find anything
specific to my problem.
=====================

>From page 2 of the TDP for Exchange manual:

"TDP for Exchange Version 2 uses backup object and file space
naming conventions that are different from those used by TDP for
Exchange Version 1. As a result, TDP for Exchange Version 2 is
completely incompatible with TDP for Exchange Version 1. You
cannot query or restore backup objects created by one version with
the other version."

On the same page, it also mentions that the two versions of TDP for Exchange 
can coexist on the same Exchange server.
