Pst file recovery
Personal Storage Folder is one of the file format supported by Microsoft outlook. It is basically used to store mails, contacts, calendar etc
Generally these PST files are saved under .PST extension and their size is limited to 2GB, if it exceeds 2GB size limit it may lead data loss.
Some of the other reasons for data loss are:
- When you accidentally delete your mails and contacts
- Header getting corrupted
- Corruption of mails due to compression
- Virus attack
- Sudden shutdown of the system
- When a file is shared over a network
- When the file size exceeds the limits of 2GB.
A pst recovery software must restore back the deleted mails, contacts, events, schedule, notes etc back safely without modifying the original content.
Features
- Must restore files with any formats like RTF, HTML, plain text etc
- Must recover lost emails, embedded attachments, contacts, calendar, etc
- Must preview files during restoration process.
When you discover that your outlook is corrupted just run scanpst.exe, to repair them and if you find it is not worth running this file then you need to go for some recovery software’s. This failure may be due to the file size exceeding the limit of 2GB.
Microsoft provides a pst repair utility called Outlook Inbox Repair tool to repair the corrupted PST files. Outlook Inbox Repair tool first reads the damaged files and restores them safely, after recovering it may save the emails as .eml files. It can also restore password protected files.
