Hi The Exchange server will backup the adressbook and the information store. The normal backup/restore client backups the the active directory. When doing a restore, you first restore the files and system objects(AD), and then restore the information store.
In this way, all the information from both Exchange and the AD will be both backed up and restored when you choose to do so. No, there is no brick level restore for TSM. However, some of my colleauges have successfully used BackupExec NT/2000 client to backup using brick-level to a TSM server. I haven't done this myself, however they have told me that somehow you can configure the BackupExec client to send data to the TSM server. There has been rumors that Tivoli is working on a brick-level restore client. How much of this is true, I don't know...
