Use Cases

Recovery for Exchange Server allows users to recover EDB files that cannot be mounted to server because of email database corruption.

Exchange EDB recovery is done in the following easy steps:

The database is opened with Recovery for Exchange Server. This usually takes a few minutes, although opening larger and heavily damaged databases can take longer.
User selectively chooses mailboxes, folders and messages for export.
Recovery for Exchange Server exports selected data in to a set of PST files.

Formerly known as Exchange Recovery, EDB repair utility has been renamed to Recovery for Exchange Server. After initial processing of corrupted EDB, Exchange Recovery allowed to select only entire mailboxes to extract. The new version provides the capability to browse and recover individual folders and messages within mailboxes.

EDB recovery software can be used in situations when Exchange EDB repair is necessitated by email database corruption due to the so called “dirty shutdown”. To repair Exchange EDB quickly, the database file should be placed on a local drive. It is important to note that using EDB repair tool over a network can have significant adverse effect on performance. EDB repair software performs multiple resource-intensive operations, thus requiring good disk drive throughput and short access times.

EDB to PST Converter

Recovery for Exchange Server is capable of performing EDB to PST conversion on both healthy and corrupted email databases. EDB-PST converter has many applications in the course of Exchange Server management. When converting Exchange EDB to PST with Recovery for Exchange Server, it is possible to select folders to be exported.

While databases can be as large as hundreds of gigabytes in case of Exchange EDB, PST files are typically much smaller than that. To extract PST from EDB, a subset of email messages must be selected. When this is done, press the Save button on the toolbar, and Recovery for Exchange Server will recover EDB to PST.

A common reason to export EDB to PST is migrating part of an Exchange email database to Outlook. Another incentive to export PST from EDB is extracting important emails from a damaged Exchange store that cannot be attached to server.

How to Recover Mailbox from EDB

To extract mailbox from EDB, user marks it for export in the email database items tree shown in Recovery for Exchange Server user interface. Additional items from other mailboxes can be selective added as well. If needed, user can proceed to extract mailboxes from EDB file on a mass scale by either marking for export the root of the items tree or selecting a set of specific mailboxes from list.
