StorageCraft Granular Recovery for Exchange
Organizations need a reliable way to manage emails, calendars, folders, contacts, etc. In fact, much of an organization’s critical information between employees, customers, and partners takes place through email. Microsoft Exchange has proven to be the dominant global leader in the on-premise corporate email market. Whether you use Microsoft Exchange or not, it has become the heart of communication in organizations both large and small.
Unfortunately, not all Microsoft Exchange Servers are managed or maintained equally. In today’s fast-paced business world, users can’t afford delays in communication or the inability to retrieve critical information when they need it most. And for those who accidentally delete an email, or just can’t seem to find that all-important email from a month or so ago, it can be extremely costly and inefficient to the business if the proper tools are not already in place to help recover quickly and easily under these scenarios.
By adding award-winning StorageCraft Granular Recovery for Exchange to backup and recovery tools already in place, administrators and service providers can perform complete granular search and recovery capabilities for Microsoft Exchange at the click of a button. StorageCraft Granular Recovery for Exchange allows administrators to quickly recover individual email messages, mailboxes, attachments, or even multiple mailboxes directly from an Exchange database (EDB) file. The easy-to-use interface enables an administrator to recover from an Exchange backup to a production Exchange server or PST file in minutes. They can quickly navigate to a specific mailbox and simply drag-and-drop the entire mailbox to the end user’s production environment, or recover individual email messages, attachments, or other mailbox items as needed.
StorageCraft offers two Granular Recovery for Exchange options:
StorageCraft Granular Recovery for Exchange
Use with your existing brand of backup software.
Works with any brand’s backup image that includes an Exchange database (.EDB) file of all your users’ mailboxes. Make sure you can extract the .EDB file and transaction logs from your backup file and place them in a local directory.
ShadowProtect Granular Recovery for Exchange
Use with StorageCraft backup software only.
Works with any StorageCraft ShadowProtect SPX or StorageCraft ShadowProtect backup image that includes an .EDB.
How it Works:
1. Select a backup of your Exchange server created with StorageCraft or other* backup software.
2. Extract the EDB file and transaction logs from other backup software, or mount a StorageCraft ShadowProtect backup as a writable image, and place in a local directory.
3. Launch StorageCraft Granular Recovery for Exchange and access the Exchange EDB file.
4. Recover mailboxes, email messages, and attachments or search for messages based on criteria you specify.
