Assuming you are using one of the versions of Backup Exec that uses GRT and had GRT enabled on your backup job then you might be able to duplicate the backup set to disk - which will give you offline copies of the Exchange database files (inside the IMG folder) You then might be able to speak to Microsoft or Ontrack (Data Recovery specialists) to help you get at the data without using an Exchange Server.
But Backup Exec itself would expect to restore to an AD environment with Exchange services running in Disaster Recovery Mode) to do this kind of restore.
So really you need to restore a Domain controller, then build an Exchange server with the same name in the AD using the disaster recovery option
Then restore Exchange into the server.
Any further advice is likely to need the version of Exchange, the version of Backup Exec, the version(s) of the operating system and details of whether or not GRT was actually enabled.
Also this is bordering on the sort of issue that might mean you are better off using a full support case with Symantec instead of trying to work on a forum.
