MS-Exchange policy restore error  (2810)

You cannot restore Exchange to a client without Exchange installed. 

File-level restore would only be possible if you took offline file-level backup.

My view of db backup is of a bucket and water. Db backup will only save the water, not the bucket.
You need Exchange to provide the structure where contents can be received.

Herewith a TN that explains how to restore to a Recovery Storage Group:  http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH57346
