Exporting Folders and Items

If you have a 64-bit version of Microsoft Outlook 2016, Microsoft Outlook 2013 or Microsoft Outlook 2010 installed on the computer running Veeam Explorer, you can export folders (or mailboxes) and items as Personal Folder Files (.pst). Otherwise, you can use other restore options (see Saving Items and Sending Items). If you want export results to be delivered as specially generated reports, you need to configure appropriate settings, as described in Receiving Export Reports.

Exporting Folders and Items Important!

Windows Search can conflict with exporting of items and folders. If the .pst file to which you are exporting is indexed at the same time, the exporting process may hang up. To avoid this, it is necessary to exclude .pst files from the indexing scope. For this, use the search box in the Windows Start menu to open the Indexing Options window, click Modify to open the Indexed Locations window and clear the Microsoft Outlook check box.
Alternatively, you can disable Windows Search completely in the Windows Features dialog box.
Also note that if you are exporting .pst files to a shared folder, it is necessary to exclude Outlook files or disable Windows Search on the computer where the shared folder is located.

To export a folder as a single .pst file:

  1. Select the folder in the navigation pane, click Export Folder on the toolbar and select Export to .pst file.... You can also right-click the folder in the navigation pane and select Export to .pst file....

Exporting Folders and Items 

  1. Specify the name and location for the target .pst file. If it does not exist, it will be created anew.
  2. You can also click Show settings to show more controls that will allow you to export only items containing the keywords. Select the corresponding check box and enter the necessary keywords. Note that Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange will look for the specified keywords in all message fields (From, To, Subject, Body). Items containing the keywords will be exported to the specified location; if you have configured Veeam Explorer settings to deliver reports on export results, this export operation will be reported with Export type: Search results (see "Receiving Export Reports" section for more information).  

Exporting Folders and Items 

  1. Click Export and wait for the operation to complete. Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange will notify you of the operation results.

To export one or several items as one .pst file:

  1. Select the items in the main working area (use SHIFT and CTRL to select multiple items), click Export Items on the toolbar and select Export to .PST file. You can also right-click the items in the working area and select Export to .PST file.
  2. Specify the name and location for the target .pst file. If it does not exist, it will be created anew.
  3. Click Export and wait for the operation to complete. Veeam Explorer will notify you of the operation results.

1-Click Export

For your convenience, Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange allows you to quickly export folders and items directly to the .pst file to the previously used location (initially, this is the Inbox.pst on the Desktop).

To export a folder, select it from the navigation tree and then click Export Folder > Export to <folder name>\<file name>.pst on the toolbar, or use the corresponding shortcut menu command. Selected folder including all its subfolders will be exported to the specified destination.

Exporting Folders and Items 

To export an item, select it in the preview pane on the right (multiple selection is supported) and then click Export Items > Export to <folder name>\<file name>.pst on the toolbar, or use the corresponding shortcut menu command. Selected item(s) will be exported to the specified destination.
