Complete Guide to Convert EDB to PST Files

The EDB files are inaccessible. They can only be accessed on the Exchange server itself. It is comparatively difficult to look into the EDB file content stored in the local directory. To see into the data of the EDB, users need to convert this file format to an accessible one. And there is no better choice rather than the PST. There are mainly two methods to do this task; manual and professional method. However, Shoviv provides the best professional utility EDB to PST Converter tool, which convert EDBs to PST securely, swiftly, and as per the requirement.   

Reasons for EDB to PST Conversion

1. Data Accessibility: EDB files are tied to Microsoft Exchange servers, making it difficult to access mailbox items without a connection to the server. Converting EDB to PST allows users to access their emails, calendars, and contacts through Microsoft Outlook, even offline.
2. Backup and Recovery: Regular backups are essential for data security. Converting EDB files to PST creates manageable backup copies that can be stored locally, facilitating easy recovery in case of data loss or server failures.
3. Performance Improvement: Large EDB files can slow down Exchange servers. By converting older or less frequently accessed mailboxes to PST, organizations can reduce server load and enhance performance.
4. Migration and Compliance: During migrations to new servers or cloud platforms like Office 365, converting EDB to PST simplifies the transfer of email data. Additionally, many industries require email archiving for compliance, which PST files can facilitate.

Conversion Methods

Manual Method

The manual conversion involves using PowerShell commands or the Exchange Admin Center. The process typically includes:

1. Using PowerShell: Administrators can execute commands like New-MailboxExportRequest to export mailboxes to PST files. This method requires technical knowledge and can be time-consuming, especially for large databases.

2. Exchange Admin Center: Users can also export mailbox data through the Exchange Admin Center, but this method is limited to specific versions of Exchange and can be cumbersome.
