Backing up user mailboxes to PST is a cost-effective option available for Exchange administrators.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Portability needs<\/strong> \u2013 User mailbox data, when saved in PST files, is portable.

Some of them are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Good knowledge of running the EMS cmdlets is required<\/li>\n<li>Does not recover mailboxes from corrupt EDB file<\/li>\n<li>Not for not-so-technical users<\/li>\n<li>Great chances of manual errors and results in data loss<\/li>\n<li>The mailbox should be mounted on Exchange Server<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 id=\"exmerge\">3<sup>rd<\/sup> Method: Convert EDB file to PST using the ExMerge utility in Exchange Server 2003<\/h4>\n<p>ExMerge is a free application provided by Microsoft.
