TDP for Exchange version 6.1 should be able to restore only selected items from a full mailstore backup into your RSG. But, I wouldn't be surprised if it had to retrieve all data from the TSM server in order to be able to leave out the undesired data. It's not the TSM server that does the filtering, it's the TDP on the client. So if you had to restore 1 single mail item from a 1TB mailstore, yes that would mean transferring 1TB of data, just to restore one single item.
Now, if that is not what you want, look into FastBack for exchange. That works in a completely different way, and is able to recover Exchange much faster, but then again, it stores all backup data on disk....

I am implementing the TDP for Exchange. We have it installed and did a manual backup successfully. When we try to reetore a mailbox, it forces us to use a Recovery Storage Group in Exchange as the target. We chose a specific email in the filter section and were expecting a restre of what we were searching for. Instead, the restore seems to be building a whole new database, It wa sup to 14GB when we stopped it. It seem like nonsense to restore the whole storage group just to restore a single mail box. Is this required.
