Before going to VMs we always loaded Windows first, then the TSM client before doing restores. But then it was only selected directories. As far as I know in order to do a BMR with TSM you need to use TSM to create a automated recovery diskette. This is used to start TSM client for the restore b

We are doing a file level backup in addition to the vm backup. You are right that you need a license per vm for the file level backup but this is no different if the machine was physical. We only use the vm snapshots for our bare metal restores, then it is made current using the client installed

If it is only Exchange data that is kept forever, you should just put the exchange data in its own pool and keep checking them out for onsite storage. Since they don't expire, you should have to worry about reclamation. You can leave all the other stuff in the library and let it reclaim as needed.
