Restore mailbox withou overwriting existing mailbox in Backup Exec

How do I restore an individual mailbox without overwriting the existing mail through Backup Exec?

I cannot do a RSG due to space issues, individual mailbox recovery is my only option.

I would like to recover as a .pst file and then drag and drop whatever I need.  If I choose the File Redirection option in Backup Exec, will that place the .pst file in another location without overwriting the existing mailbox?

TYIA!

Oh yes, we do brick level backups and I'm able to see the individual mailboxes to do a restore.  I just need to know how to set it up in backup exec to not overwrite the existing mailbox.

I am trying the Exchange Redirection.  I created a "restore" mailbox and am testing redirecting the restore to that mailbox.

However, when I try to run the restore, it just stays in a Ready state in backup exec?  Has anyone ever had that happen?

Thank you
