What is an EDB File?
An EDB (Exchange Database) file is the primary storage file used by Microsoft Exchange Server to hold all mailbox data like emails, contacts, calendars, folders, and attachments. Built on a client-server architecture, the Exchange Server uses the Extensible Storage Engine to manage this data efficiently.
EDB files are critical for email communication within an organization, storing large volumes of mailbox data securely. Exchange administrators often need to locate EDB files for backup, restoration, or migration tasks.
However, these files can sometimes become corrupted due to hardware failures, sudden server shutdowns, malware, or software issues. When this happens, mailbox data may become inaccessible, disrupting business communication. That’s why recovering and converting EDB files into accessible formats like PST is vital for smooth and continuous business operations.
Prerequisites to Convert EDB to PST
Before exporting mailboxes from an offline EDB file to PST using EdbMails, make sure you have the following in place:
- Microsoft Outlook installed on your computer with an active profile.
