Neil, Backup Exec (from at least v8.5) can backup individual mailboxes if the Exchange Backup Agent has been added. This allows either the Information Store to be backed up, or individual mailboxes, or both. As for the Exchange TDP, I have never seen an option to backup individual mailboxes. If we need to restore a mailbox, we restore the Exchange to separate hardware and restore from this new server.

We were using Backup-Exec previously, and the NT adminstrator tells me they backed up and restored mailboxes individually. I can't find anything about individual mailboxes in the redbook, does TDP have this option? If not, how would I restore one user's mailbox without wiping new mail off the server?
