Is there a better PST repair tool?

Hey Experts,

scanpst has served me well for many years when it comes to repairing PSTs, but every now and again (now being one of those times) I come across a PST which scanpst takes several hours to attempt to repair, but fails.

In your experience, are there any other tools (or perhaps even more advanced scanpst features I may not have used) which will give me a better chance of recovering the pst in question?

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delay. The client decided that they didn't need the content of the old .pst anymore during our recovery of it, so we stopped short of completing the work. I'm loathed to delete this thread as there were some good suggestions here which I was hopeful over, but am not sure whether we have an option.

If scanpst.exe fails to repair PST file, this means corruption is severe. There are many software companies in the market which provide professional recovery solutions. You can try any one of them. There's a blog post in which you can compare best PST repair or recovery tools available in the market.

I never recommend any paid software to any user, though demo or trial version can be used for free evaluation.

Thanks.

Scanpst works well in order to repair PST file. However, i believe, if PST file is severely damaged or corrupted then you must try third party tool, because Scanpst cannot fix high level of corruption. PST recovery tool can repair PST file facing any level of corruption. You can try it here http://www.pstrecoverytool.org/
