  8. New Features: Version 5.0 (continued) • Search Results Reports • Export to PST • Journaling Support • Updated support for backup software

  9. Product Usage • Designed to run from a Windows workstation • Microsoft Outlook® must be installed, configured for Corporate/Workgroup, and closed at the time of operation • Uses Microsoft’s Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) to communicate with theExchange Server • MAPI is configured when Outlook logs into an Exchange Server mailbox for the first time • Information Store files (EDB, STM and log) must be off-line and out of the MDBDATA directory since Exchange can conflict with Ontrack PowerControls use of MAPI

  10. Ontrack PowerControls Extract Wizard • Extract Wizard facilitates the restoration of the Information Store from a backup tape or archive file to a local share, without the need of an Exchange Recovery Server. • ExtractWizard currently supports Microsoft NT-native backup,Symantec BackupExec, VERITAS NetBackup, CA ARCserve, EMC NetWorker, IBM Tivoli, HP OpenView, CommVault Galaxy, and UltraBac. • The Direct Method does not use the backup server software so has limited support for tape libraries and robots, requiring manual control. Tape drives typically operate best if used with Manufacturer or Vendor drivers. • The Advanced Method works as a client for your backup solution server to support your tape drive devices and existing catalogs.

  12. How does it work? 1 - Backup software backs up an Exchange database and creates Exchange backup sets. 2 - Extract Wizard restores the database to an alternate location that is not an Exchange server. 3 – Open an EDB filewith Ontrack PowerControls to view and search through PST files or mailboxes, messages and attachments. 4 - Ontrack PowerControls can restore a single mailbox, messages or attachments back to the production Exchange server or to a new or existing PST file in another location.

  13. Welcome to Extract Wizard

  14. Extraction Method selection The Direct Method needs no backup software. TheAdvanced Method uses a form of emulation for the backup solution to use its catalogs and tape devices.

  15. Advanced Extraction Method In Advanced Method, the PC running Extract Wizard emulates an Exchange Recovery Server for a redirected restore using your backup solution server.
