Hello,
can anyone suggest a WONDERFULL Exchange Recovery tool, I've tried Ex-merge from Microsoft Exchange, but I am not get satisfaction with this tool and it not properly recovered my EDB file data into PST.

Any third party tool helps me to get back my lost EDB file data in well mode?

A few practical notes to complement the replies from , and — ExMerge or a single “one‑click” tool sometimes won’t help when the EDB is damaged or in a dirty-shutdown state. Follow a safe, repeatable workflow: work only on copies, check the database state, try non‑destructive recovery first, then extract mailboxes to PST or merge from a recovery database. The Recovery Database approach lets you mount a restored copy and pull mailboxes without touching production. (See Microsoft’s Recovery DB guidance.)
Recovery databases

Immediate checklist (work on copies only):

  • Make a binary copy of the .edb and all related log files to a separate drive. Then examine the copy with Eseutil to see the header state: 
    eseutil /mh "D:\Recovery\DB01.edb"

    If the DB is in Dirty Shutdown, attempt soft recovery to replay logs (eseutil /r ...). Only if soft recovery fails and no logs exist, consider the hard repair (eseutil /p ...) — it can permanently delete corrupted pages and cause data loss. After a clean state, create a Recovery DB, mount it and extract mailboxes (New‑MailboxRestoreRequest / export). Practical examples and cautions are documented in Exchange recovery guides.
    Validate backups & use Eseutil examples
    Restore using a Recovery DB

When you don’t want to risk Eseutil yourself, third‑party EDB→PST tools can read offline EDBs and export mailboxes without modifying the originals. Pick a vendor that offers a free demo/preview, supports your Exchange version, documents what it writes or doesn’t write, and has a refund or eval policy (for example, see product feature pages from established vendors).
Example: SysTools EDB→PST capabilities

Key cautions: always work from copies, verify you have enough free disk space for repairs/defrag, test on a non‑production restore, and if unsure, escalate to backup/recovery specialists. Patching and CU level can change Eseutil behavior; check Microsoft support notes before running destructive repairs.
