Hello,

i would like to know, how to restore a Exchange User Mailbox to a PST.

I have read the latest Veritas Artikel in KB, how to restore.
To my understanding, i can only Restore a mailbox with Outlook 2010 installed on the BE Server and with Exchange 2016.

How would i restore a user mailbox to a pst if i only have Outlook 2016/2019 or 365 and Exchange 2019?

Is there any recommendation?

I use BE 21.2 Rev 1200.1899

Thanks

Jürgen

Hi
We are supporting newer versions of Outlook see and the following section:
https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/article.100049595

Backup Exec 21.2 and later introduces new supported Outlook versions.  Refer to the "Exchange GRT restore to PST file" section of the  Backup Exec (SCL) Software Compatibility List

Thanks,

i tried Outlook 2016 and it didn´t work.

With Outlook 2010 i only get a restore of 10% of the mails and other mails are missing.

Inbox of Exchange 2016 has 483 mails and in the Outlook 2010 pst file i only have 7% (38 mails).
And other outlook.pst folders are empty.

I use BE 21.2 Rev 1200.1899

Not reliable

whats the error on the restore. can you attach the job log and always on beremote , bengine log from (BE Install path\Logs) / (exchange remote agent install path\logs)  covering the time of the restore run which failed.

No error at all, the job was fine.

I checked the restore wizard, and the wizard only show about 38 mails.
So there are not all mails inside this backup set.

So i think, BE 21.2 is not able to backup all mails or restore all mails ... (big problem).

Is Outlook 2010 to old for a PST restore?

Backup Server is English, Outlook 2010 is English, Exchange 2016 CU21 Server is German.
Mailbox used is German

Hi,

i will test this with different mailboxes.

Maybe the amount of mails missing was an error in "what mailbox is restored"
and what user i used for verification. 

With Outlook 2016 i got this error

Final error: 0xe00003c4 - To redirect Exchange mailboxes to PST files, you must install the supported Outlook version (32-bit installati

Thanks,

i have read this and tried with Outlook 2016 Pro Plus Version, 32 Bit.
It didn´t work with BE 21.2 do i need BE 21.3 for Exchange 2016 CU 21 ?

For the missing mails, i have an error in testing: But still errors.

I restored a usermailbox "admin jb" and "verified the mailbox "admin jürgen b.."

So i tested again and restore "admin jürgen b" to PST.

PST File and Exchange Mailbox has differnt amount of mails (392 vs 483).

Thanks,

i´ll upgraded to 21.3 and tested again.

I was able to Restore with Outlook 2016 installed on Backup Exec 21.3 Server.

Sent items and inbox items are uptodate now, all mails are present.
So i must apologize, this was my fault.

Thanks for your help in restoring to PST files.
