Top use cases for Exchange Server Backup and Restore Tool

Isolated Local Backups

Easily create an offline immutable Exchange backup. Export mailboxes with our Exchange Server backup tool and store them in an isolated environment, away from any corruption or viruses.

Storage Reclamation

Instead of running a risky manual PowerShell export cmdlet to remove old or inactive user mailboxes and reclaim storage, use our Exchange backup tool to safely back them up on your local system.

Top Features of the Kernel Exchange Backup & Restore Software

Explore the advanced features of the Exchange Backup tool to secure your Exchange mailboxes without hassle.

Bulk Exchange Mailbox Backup

Be it 100 or 1000+ mailboxes, our tool automates the backup of all user mailboxes (primary, archive, or shared) and stores each in a separate PST file at the user-specified location.

Backup Public Folder to PST

Extract your Public Folders to a PST file with the Kernel Exchange Backup & Restore tool. Backup single or multiple Public Folders with messages, folders, Calendar items, Journal entries, Contacts, and more.

Automate Exchange Mailbox Reintegration

Restore PST and OST files directly from your local storage into the Exchange Server environment. This helps admins to import archived, backed-up, or orphaned mailboxes back into the Exchange Information Store.

Accelerate Backup with CSV

The Exchange Backup and Restore tool allows you to upload a CSV file containing information about the target Exchange server to automatically connect and list user mailboxes for backup.

Optimize Exchange Backup with Filters

The tool allows Exchange Server administrators to include or exclude the folders from the mailbox (Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, etc.), select item types (Email, Journal, Task, etc.), and backup items by date range.

Skip Obsolete Data or Folders

Minimize backup time and reduce storage overhead by skipping the “Deleted Items Folder” in user mailboxes, along with all the empty folders. This makes sure the tool only backs up the relevant folder with actual data.

Multi-Server Backup

Perform mass-scale mailbox backup from different Exchange Server accounts by running multiple instances of the tool. Each instance operates in isolation and takes backup while maintaining high accuracy.

Incremental backup

Our Exchange Server backup tool uses item-level tracking to avoid backing up the same data twice. With incremental backup, the tool identifies and extracts only modified or new mailbox items since the last backup.

Reports in a CSV File

The Exchange Server backup and restore software creates reports for all jobs (backup & restore). Reports contain details like mailboxes, backup destination, and status of backup, restore, etc., and are available to download in CSV format

Exchange Backup in Multiple Formats

The tool provides you with multiple options to save an Exchange backup. Save each mailbox in a PST file or backup selective emails individually in universal formats, like EML, MSG, PDF, DOC, DOCX, HTML, and MHT.

Precise Mailbox Mapping

Map and reintegrate your backup PST and OST files to the Exchange Server mailboxes. Map each source file to a different or the same mailbox manually or automatically (by importing a CSV file).

Risk-Free Exchange Server Backup

Download the free version of our Kernel Exchange Backup and Restore software and verify the tool’s compatibility with your Exchange environment. With the trial version, you can back up 10 items per folder.

Why does your tool use the CSV file?

The CSV file helps to automate two tasks:

Connect and authenticate multiple Exchange Server accounts.
Map hundreds of PST or OST files to an Exchange mailbox.

Does your tool support Modern Authentication?

Yes. To comply with Microsoft security guidelines, our tool allows Modern Authentication in addition to the basic authentication (username & password).

What prerequisite should I have before using this tool for Exchange backup?

Before you start backing up the Exchange mailboxes, verify the following points:

The Exchange account should be active and accessible over the network.
You must grant the full access rights to the mailbox before you begin the backup.
For restoring, the PST files should be healthy. If PST is corrupt, repair PST files to avoid errors.

I have a large number of mailboxes in my database. Will this tool create a single PST file for all mailboxes?

No. The tool creates a separate PST file for each Exchange mailbox. You can also split the output PST to avoid creating oversized backup files.

Can this software skip empty folders from backup?

Yes. There is an option on the filter page of the tool to skip all the empty folders from the backup.

Does the software need an active Outlook application to back up mailboxes to a PST file?

No, our tool works independently. You do not need Outlook to take an Exchange Server backup.

Does this software help to restore the Exchange server from a backup?

Of course, our Kernel Exchange Backup & Restore software is bidirectional. In addition to Exchange backup, it also helps to restore backup PST or OST files to the Exchange Server.
