Export Exchange EDB to PST with step-by-step guide

Introduction

Many organizations and users rely on the Exchange server for email communication. This server could be installed locally or in a hybrid environment. Exchange is also available in several editions, including 2013, 2016, 2019, and so on. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure, so you should have a backup solution in place in case your Exchange server fails (either due to maintenance, crashes, hard-drive corruptions or virus infections). You must quickly restore from a backup file to minimize the impact and make the transition as smooth as possible. Your emails, attachments, and all MS Exchange data are saved in an Exchange database file (EDB). Because EDB is not a common file format like JPG or PDF, your computer lacks a native application to directly open it and view its contents. To recover an EDB file, you must first download Microsoft-supplied tools like EseUtil or ExMerge. These tools, however, are likely to do more harm than good since they are extremely technical in nature and result in data loss.
