This video continues the series of feature-level podcasts on DPM 2007, this week focusing on Exchange Server and item level restore.

While DPM 2007 natively protects Exchange Storage Groups, and restores both SG's and DB's -- it does not directly restore mailboxes or individual items. For granluar recovery, we leverage the Recovery Storage Group (RSG), as prescribed by the Exchange product team. Direct individual item restore is not supported by Exchange (KB 904845) without using the Recovery Storage Group (RSG).

Ilse Van Criekinge, an Exchange MVP, does one of the best jobs that I've seen on how to do an individual item restore from Exchange Server 2007 with DPM 2007. She is a very impressive speaker on all things Exchange, so much so that she won 'Speaker Idol' at IT Forum 2007, and is a lead instructor at Global Knowledge. Ilse was kind enough to let me re-post this - from the Belux TechNet podcast library.

Recovery manager for exchange may help you with this.

This solution provides very powerful item-level recovery without brick-level backup of all exchange backup data like backup stores, mailboxes, particular PSTs, public folders and Lotus Domino databases.

While the video is excellent with regards to recovery with DPM 2007, I do have a question. Can anyone serioulsy say that this is less cumbersome than GRT restores with Symantec Backup Exec? I am looking to consolidate to the System Center line of products and remove Symantec from our org, but I cannot hand this over to the first level support for restores; it is much too complex for staff as opposed to Backup Exec. There are simply way too many steps.
