Hi David,

Also, keep in mind that Data Protection for Exchange added
Individual Mailbox Restore (IMR) and individual item-level
in Data Protection for Exchange 6.1. It accomplishes this
through use of the Recovery Storage Group on Exchange Server 2007.
It automates the entire process for you. You can see more details
in the Data Protection for Exchange Server Installation and 
User’s Guide:
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27018572


If you still prefer Quest Recovery Manager, you can perform
a Data Protection for Exchange "RESTOREFILES" command to 
restore your legacy backup (.EDB and .LOG files) to an alternate directory
and then use Quest Recovery Manager to extract the items you want.

Thanks,

Del
