Recovering a mailbox from the Recovery Storage Group

I need to export a mailbox from the Recovery Storage Group to a PST or a folder in another mailbox in the First Storage Group.  Please provide the correct commands.  
Assume the mailbox alias is amailbox.   Exchange server is running Exchange 2007 SP1 or later.

Exmerge was replaced in 2007 with Powershell commands, check out this blurb:

Ok so lets take it from the beginning:

1. CREATE RECOVERY DATABASE
New-MailboxDatabase -Recovery -Name RecoveryDB1 -Server YOURMBXSERVER-01 -EdbFilePath "D:\Recovery\Mailbox Database 1882717321.edb" -LogFolderPath "D:\Recovery"

Open in new window


2. This example restores a mailbox for user Jaco Lidth, overwriting the existing mailbox
Restore-Mailbox -ID 'Jaco Lidth' -RecoveryDatabase RDB1

Open in new window


3. This example restores Jaco Lidth's mailbox content into an Investigation mailbox:
Restore-Mailbox -ID 'Jaco Lidth' -RecoveryDatabase RDB1 -RecoveryMailbox Investigation

Open in new window
