In the previous post, How-to: Free Exchange discovery tool helps admin, I described how to make a quick, easy and free e-discovery in a Microsoft Exchange database. In a similar way, you can recover any deleted email or item from the .EDB.

Let’s take a closer look. There is a market for paid Exchange recovery tools where it is possible to restore single mailbox items from the raw Exchange database (.EDB); however their price is very high. You can get similar granular recovery with Veeam for free.

If you’ve got a problem with your Exchange Server, Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange can help recover mailboxes, messages, contacts, folders, tasks and ... Read more
