Request
POST https://<hostname>:4443/v4/RestoreSessions/{restoreSessionId}/Organization/Mailboxes/{mailboxId}/Items/{itemId}/Action |
Request Headers
The request header must contain an authorization token of the current session.
Request Body
Export to PST
|
To export Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 entities to PST files (Personal Folder Files), you must have a 64-bit version of Microsoft Outlook 2016, Microsoft Outlook 2013 or Microsoft Outlook 2010 installed on the computer running restore sessions. |
To export a backed-up item from the organization's mailbox to a Personal Folder File (PST file), the request body must contain the exporToPst action properties:
Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
ContentKeywords | string | Specifies the keyword to query backed-up mailbox folder data. |
EnablePstSizeLimit | boolean | Defines whether to set the size limit for the exported .pst file. If set to true, make sure to specify the PstSizeLimitBytes parameter. |
PstSizeLimitBytes | integer | Sets the limit of the exported .pst file. You can choose the limit range from 1 GB to 49 GB. |
For example:
{ "exportToPst": { "contentKeywords": "support", "EnablePstSizeLimit": false } } |
The request command will export a backed-up item to a PST file and place it to a temporary folder on the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 server. After that, the PST file will be transferred as application/octet-stream media to the client. To download, read, convert to PST or perform other actions with the octet-stream, use features of programming languages.
|
You can use Swagger UI to download the octet-stream file by clicking the Download action link, which server returns in the response body after a successfully completed export operation. |
