Why You Need to Export EDB Files to PST
Four EDB to PST problems with offline databases and how PCVITA software solves every one.
- 1
Exchange Server Is Gone
A retired server leaves you with an EDB file and no mailboxes. PCVITA software opens the file on any Windows PC.
- 2
The Database Will Not Mount
A dismounted or corrupted file blocks a normal export. PCVITA software scans the file and lists the mailboxes.
- 3
One Huge PST Fails in Outlook
Large PST files open slowly. PCVITA software splits the output by size.
- 4
Mailboxes Hide Their Content
Mailbox names alone say little. PCVITA software previews mail, calendars and contacts before the export.
Prepare Before You Convert EDB to PST
Six checks before your first export. Tick the boxes in order, then open the software.
- Copy the EDB file to a local drive with free space for the PST output.
- Install the .NET Framework on the PC. Version 4.5 or later works.
- Start the software as administrator with the Run as Administrator option.
- Keep certificates and keys ready with their passwords if the mailboxes hold SMIME or OpenPGP mail.
- Plan the PST size and decide whether to split large output.
- Test the free demo on your file before you pay. Download the demo edition and test the 25 item limit.
