MS Exchange Brick-Level Mailbox – Restore
Recover missing, deleted, or truncated email items to maintain seamless operations.
IDrive 360 offers a straightforward and secure method to restore mailbox data from a Personal Folder (.PST) file back to the MS Exchange Server Store through its Brick-Level Mailbox Restore feature. The application restores the selected .PST file and restores its contents to the corresponding Exchange Server mailbox.
The Brick-Level Mailbox Restore feature is intended for restoring individual mailboxes from .PST files to the chosen Exchange Server mailbox. It is not designed for full Exchange database recovery. For complete Exchange database restoration, use the standard Exchange Server restore functionality available in the application.

- Restore mailbox items from Personal Folder (.PST) files to the Exchange Server mailbox store without interrupting active Exchange services.
- Data transfers and storage are secured using 256-bit AES encryption with a user-defined key that is never stored on IDrive 360 servers.
- Detailed, session-based restore logs for tracking restore activity.
