• Uses Microsofts Messaging Application
  Programming Interface (MAPI) to communicate with
  the Exchange Server
• MAPI is configured when Outlook logs into an
  Exchange Server mailbox for the first time
• Information Store files (EDB, STM and log) must
  be off-line and out of the MDBDATA directory
  since Exchange can conflict with Ontrack
  PowerControls use of MAPI

Ontrack PowerControls Extract Wizard

• Extract Wizard facilitates the restoration of the
  Information Store from a backup tape or archive
  file to a local share, without the need of an
  Exchange Recovery Server.
• ExtractWizard currently supports Microsoft
  NT-native backup, Symantec BackupExec, VERITAS
  NetBackup, CA ARCserve, EMC NetWorker, IBM
  Tivoli, HP OpenView, CommVault Galaxy, and
  UltraBac.
• The Direct Method does not use the backup server
  software so has limited support for tape
  libraries and robots, requiring manual control.
  Tape drives typically operate best if used with
  Manufacturer or Vendor drivers.
• The Advanced Method works as a client for your
  backup solution server to support your tape drive
  devices and existing catalogs.

How does it work?
1 - Backup software backs up an Exchange database
and creates Exchange backup sets. 2 - Extract
Wizard restores the database to an alternate
location that is not an Exchange server.
3 Open an EDB file with Ontrack PowerControls
to view and search through PST files or
mailboxes, messages and attachments. 4 - Ontrack
PowerControls can restore a single mailbox,
messages or attachments back to the production
Exchange server or to a new or existing PST file
in another location.
