Hi Gary,

Yes. You can use a separate Exchange Server and perform all of your
"Mailbox Restores" (IMRs) there. You would set it up to access the TSM
Server
as the NODENAME that performed the backup and then perform the "Mailbox
Restore".
Data Protection for Exchange will automatically create the
Recovery Storage Group/Database, restore the database into the RSG/RDB,
extract the requested mailbox data and then cleanup.
You can point the destination of the restore to a .PST file,
a separate mailbox, or back to the original mailbox.

Thanks,

Del
