OST Recovery Tool to Recover Corrupted OST File and Convert OST to PST File format
Over the years, I have seen people
struggling out with scenarios of OST file corruption. Although Microsoft Outlook
has come up with efficient solutions for dealing with corrupted PST files but
to deal with corrupted OST files, people have to depend on other services.
Stacked fiercely competently against its peers, the OST Recovery software
claims to offer a proficient solution for recovery of orphaned, corrupted or
damaged OST files—but does it really works out so in providing such
flexibility? I have got my hands on one
of its unit for the past weeks and here I present my post which clearly depicts a collection of my impressions that I
gathered up while testing it.
The OST Recovery is a pertinent
application with high end performance and is built with brilliant technology
specs. It is well compatible with Windows Operating System 8.1 and all its
earlier versions. The file size is 16.2 MB and it occupies a space of 20 MB on
hard-disk. Being a user, you can well judge out from its specs that how
efficient it can be. The spec mentioned over here definitely guides you in
giving you a clear picture that the product is certainly worth a try.
Installation
Moving to its download and
installation part, you can download the utility from the website of SysTools.
The latest version of the product is 4.3 and it certainly speaks of effective
technologies with which it has been incorporated to come up with years of
excellence.
The product did not show up any
complexities while carrying out the process of installation. To be very frank
it never even asked for rebooting, which other application generally recommends
after getting installed on the system. Another brilliant feature which deeply
impressed me was that while I was installing the utility, it prompted me to
create a quick desktop icon. This icon helps out in accessing the software
quickly whenever there is some kind of urgency or you are in a hurry to recover
the OST files.
Understanding the Basics
Normally, OST files are created when the
mailbox of Exchange server is configured with the Outlook profile in enabled
cached exchange mode. This OST files allow users to work in offline conditions
even when there is no connection with the Exchange server. Later when the
connection is again established, the OST files are synchronized with the
mailbox of Exchange server.
So basically we can say that OST
files are replicas of copies located in server mailbox. Now, these OST files
can get orphaned when the synchronization between the server and Outlook breaks
or when the mailbox is shifted to some other location on the server. Apart from
these there are corruption issues, and the OST files get corrupted or damaged
due to several unknown reasons.
So, here is a tool which provides a
complete solution for recovery of orphaned, damaged or corrupted OST files into
PST file format. Besides that you can also recover the OST files in other file
formats such as are PST/EML/MSG.
Let us get deep into its functionality and
analyze some of its working features.
Deep
Scanning Process
It provides two intense methods for
scanning the corrupted OST files. Quick scan process enables you to recover
those OST files which have low corruption levels and Advanced scan mode for OST
files which have higher corruption intensity levels.
Flexible Filtering options
Well this is the feature which
impressed me the most. Extending its scalability in making the task of user
more convenient, the software provides distinguished filtering options.
Filter out
data based on date Range
You willhave to just specify the
date range by putting up the details such as ‘To date’ and ‘From Date’ to
filter out data selectively. This feature saves both time and effort of users.
Split PST Option
Considering the problem faced by a
wide number of users due to over sized PST in Outlook, the application
facilitates users in providing the split PST option. Once the OST files are
recovered you can split the PST files on the basis of a specific size.
Export Features
Export Recovered OST files selectively
Once the recovery process is
complete and you start with the exporting of files, here you have the option to
select the desired files which you want to export .You simply have to
check against that particular file which you wish to export.
Export Recovered files in Bulk Mode
Another way of exporting files is by
moving the files with their entire folder structure intact. For this you just
have to select the Export option which is present at the right top. On clicking
this option, you will be able to export all the folders present in OST file in
bulk process.
Suitable Naming Patterns
Using this feature you can save the
recovered files in MSG and EML file format on convenient naming patterns such
as sender wise, subject wise, date wise or even in auto-increment mode.
Displays Live Scanning Progress
The software provides you the
facility forviewing the details of ongoing scanning process. You will get to
view the exact name of the file which is scanned, details regarding its size
and the date on which it was created.You can also stop the scanning process by
selecting the stop option and then again continue it.
Want to Test the Product?
If you are really interested for
testing the product, well you have access for the trial version of the application
which is there to get a better perception about its working mode. With the trial
version of OST Recovery tool you can preview all the items that are present in
OST files. However, one will be able to export only 25 items per folder.
Note: It must be carefully
noted down that the demo version of the product does not allow users for exporting
the body content and the concerned attachments of OST items like calendars,
journals, etc.
Wrapping it up…
As I conclude the long story into
short, OST Recovery comes out successfully in satisfying all the requirements
of a basic user. It not only recover corrupt OST
file but
also efficiently converts them into PST and other file formats. As per
performance rating, I am going to give it 4/5.Not everyone can stand out so
brilliantly as the OST Recovery software in its category. It acts out a sturdy
piece keeping the balance between functionality and performance. The collection
of features which it represents certainly depicts that as a user you should
give it a trial.
