How to Extract Mailboxes From EDB Backup
The EDB file is a Microsoft Exchange Database Backup file. It is used in large corporate networks that use Exchange servers in order to store mailboxes and settings. Backing up data is critical to aid in the preservation of the emails exchanged. In order to work with EDB files, you need to be an administrator. If you need to extract a mailbox to change its settings, you can do so by specifying its file location.
