In Exchange Server, the database of entire mailboxes stored in Public and Private EDB File format according to different Exchange Server Version. An Exchange EDB File can be corrupted due to various reasons. To recover specific items stored in mailboxes and fix corruption issues, Power shell commands and Granular Exchange Recovery tool are needed.

In this Condition, only the Granular Recovery technique can be used. This method tries to extract the only valuable or critical information stored in a damaged or corrupt entire database.

Exchange Server holds the different sections of information such as email, mailboxes, contacts section to save user details, Calendar details to save appointment and meeting details, create  TO-DO  list in Tasklist, and many other features offered to the user.

To extract only a few files from each section can be a difficult task as it all the user data stored in a single EDB File
