Step 3

Select the Exchange Server Mailbox where you wish to restore the emails/messages from your Personal Folder (.PST) file.

Step 4

Use any of the following options to restore the emails from your Personal Folder (.PST) file:

1. Restore all the messages: This option is enabled by default. Leaving it selected will restore the entire Personal Folder (.PST) file contents to your Exchange Server store.

2. Based on Date: This option allows you to select emails of a specified date and time or those falling between a particular date and time.

3. Based on subject and attachment: This option allows you to select emails based on the subject or attachment.

4. Select individual mailbox folders: This option allows you select folders such as 'Inbox', 'Sent Items', 'Deleted Items', 'Calendars', 'Tasks', 'Journals' etc. that you wish to restore. Only the selected folders are processed.

Import procedures

Copy data into Exchange store: If you select this option, the application copies the email to the Exchange store even when the email exists. Thus, a duplicate email is created in the Exchange store.

Merge data into the Exchange store: If you select this option, the application checks whether the copied email/message exists in the Exchange store. If it does, then the email is not copied on restore.

Replace existing data in Exchange store: If you select this option, the application checks whether the copied email exists in the Exchange store. If it does, the email is first deleted from the Exchange store and then copied.

Step 5

Click the 'Restore' button to initiate the Exchange Server Brick-Level restore operation. You can view the log details of the restore process by clicking the 'View Log' button that appears once the operation is complete, irrespective of its success or failure.

Note: To perform MS Exchange Server and MS Exchange Brick-Level backups, download and install 'Advanced Backup Plug-In' after installing the 'IBackup for Windows' application.
