Email / Exchange Recovery

Recent studies ¹ have estimated that over 200 billion email messages are sent worldwide every day. Where does it all go? Organisations are constantly increasing their storage space, yet most also require users to delete a large percentage of their messages by placing quotas on mailbox size. And with every additional gigabyte or terabyte of email stored on your servers, the total value of your organisation’s email data grows.

These facts challenge Exchange administrators every day.

Ontrack® PowerControls™ helps Exchange administrators deal with these constant challenges by making email recovery a fast, easy process. Recover lost, deleted and archived email messages, mailboxes or entire EDB files without running your Exchange server and use any previous full backup to easily restore individual mailbox items directly to your production Exchange server or any PST file.

Recovery Scenarios
Whether you need to recover a single, specific email message or retrieve all of your organisation’s email since last month’s backup, Ontrack PowerControls can help.

• Exchange server outage – Use Ontrack PowerControls as an Exchange server data recovery tool to retrieve all messages since your last backup.
• Accidental deletion – A common request for Exchange administrators is to find deleted messages or folders for an internal client. Ontrack PowerControls allows the administrator to restore selected messages and attachments from a previous full backup directly to the client’s mailbox.
• Retrieving messages that meet specific criteria – Perhaps a key manager has left your company and you are asked to recover messages related to a specific customer. Use Ontrack PowerControls to set highly targeted search criteria for the messages you want to retrieve, minimising the amount of time needed to open and read unnecessary messages.

Items to Recover
Ontrack PowerControls will recover more than just email messages. Recover virtually any Outlook items or message attachments, including:

Individual messages, folders, complete mailboxes or entire EDB files

• Calendar items, tasks, notes and address book contacts
• Message attachment files
• Public Folder database items

Other Benefits
Eliminates the need for individual mailbox or “brick-level” backups

• No changes needed to existing backup procedures
• No need for installation onto your Exchange server – runs on a Windows workstation
• Communicates directly with the Exchange server to ensure consistent operation of your server
