Orin, No need to be afraid. Follow the instructions for creating the Recover Storage Group. When you bring up the TDP restore screen it will tell you that a recovery group exists and that all restores are going into that (just above the list of exchange backups to restore). The many arguments against a brick-level backup are well documented on this list. If you need to implement, read brickback.doc in the tdpexchange directory. But instead, consider extending the Item Deleted Retention in Exchange and apply the Outlook patch for recovering deleted items on a folder by folder basis - then let users find their own deleted email messages like they should. Put the responsibility where it belongs.

We are trying to recover a single mailbox. We don't want to write over the data store and loose current data. We would like to use Exchange 2003 Recovery Storage Group. But we're afraid the restore will write over current data. Our current plan is to set up a temporary Exchange server, restore the TDP back there, and export the mailbox. Our tech support company estimates 20 hours for that job. Your comments would be appreciated. PS. It looks like I need to go to a brick level backup solution, don't you think?

Orin, By default, Data Protection for Exchange will restore data back into the live Exchange Server and into the original storage group and database. The Microsoft Exchange Server requires that the database be dismounted for this operation. If that is not what you want, it would help to understand what exactly you are trying to do. Are you trying to restore in to an Exchange 2003 Recovery Storage Group? Are you trying to restore to a different server? Do you just want to restore the .EDB, .STM, and .LOG files so that you can manipulate them with 3rd-party tools?
