Stellar Data Recovery - Step by step guide to use Stellar OST to PST Converter
In this article, I will try to resolve the issue of Outlook users who are working with MS Exchange server. When users are synchronizing with Exchange, then by default an OST file is created in your system. Sometimes, OST file becomes corrupt or user needs to convert all OST file email data into Outlook PST file. Stellar OST to PST Converter is the perfect solution to resolve this error.
Stellar Data Recovery has been contributing a lot to give helping hands to all MS Outlook users when it comes to data loss. One more development includes Stellar OST to PST Converter that provides aid when the Exchange Server do not allow accessing emails and other data items. Let's understand the software offering with the following description.
First of all it's necessary to elucidate the OST files which is the Outlook data file created by the application when you have an Exchange Outlook account. OST files are Offline folder files enabling you to work with the client even when the Server is idle/ corrupt/ crashed. The files contain the entire Outlook data and sync with server when it becomes available again. The data that OST contains, includes contacts, emails, notes, calendars, journals, etc. With the synchronization, you are provided with the most up-to-date data.
However, when Exchange faces any issues including corruption or server crash, you lose access to the data and look for the solution that could restore your data. It is a good news that you can access the data from OST file stored on your system. However, an important point to note is that you cannot get a direct access to the file; rather it necessitates getting converted to PST, the Personal folders file.
