Recovery Manager for Exchange

Discover, Compare & Export Microsoft Exchange Messages

Quest Recovery Manager for Exchange makes Exchange recovery and email discovery fast and easy – with no need for a dedicated recovery server. From a single console, you can find and retrieve message-level data in minutes from multiple sources. You can use intelligent search based on sender, recipient, date, attachment type, subject, message keyword or attachment keyword and compare the contents of an online mailbox with a backup mailbox to identify any differences.

After the search, Recovery Manager can export the data in a variety of formats to facilitate email discovery obligations for legal inquiries or internal investigations.

Federated Search - Search multiple email data sources simultaneously, such as public folders, production mailboxes (including archived mailboxes), offline Exchange database files (.edb), Lotus Domino database files (.nsf ), Quest Archive Manager, personal folders (.pst) and backups including VSS snapshots – all from a single interface.
Export Target Option - Export search results as .pst, .eml, .msg or .txt formats to an online mailbox or public folder. This powerful export capability simplifies the process of collecting email data for ediscovery requests.
Intelligent Search - Search keywords in message body, ID, headers, message classes, categories, deleted items, conversation threads and attachment type and content. The Outlook-like search can then expand those search results to include all messages with the same sender, the same or similar subject or all related messages.
Compare Source & Target Folders - Compare contents in selected source and target containers (storages, mailboxes or folders) and use the provided list of comparison results to selectively restore data from the source to the target.
Support for Third-party Backup Software - Find and retrieve data across native Microsoft backups and most major third-party backup software, including Bakbone’s NetVault and FastRecover, EMC NetWorker, IBM Tivoli, Microsoft Data Protection Manager, Symantec Backup Exec and NetBackup.
Direct Access to Tape - Support direct access to the most common tape format backups, including MTF (Microsoft Tape Format) created with Symantec Backup Exec and Windows NT Backup, Open Tape Format (OTF) backups created with EMC NetWorker, and Tape Archive (TAR) backups created with Symantec NetBackup.
Task Automation - Automate and schedule searching and exporting of email data using the Task Wizard. This intuitive, flexible GUI provides centralized management and monitoring of automated tasks. To further automate critical tasks, you can use PowerShell to script additional recovery options, speeding up the process of cataloging, restoring, searching and exporting.
Reporting - Provide reports containing details on searches performed, messages restored and tasks completed. This helps improve overall security.
