This data is copying between these two servers.<\/p>\n<p>If you setup Exchange Server on a new server or planning to upgrade your Exchange Server, you have to restore &amp; mount Exchange database to a new server.<\/p>\n<p>By going through this guide, one can easily restore corrupt Exchange database to new server with minimum steps &amp; efforts.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Causes behind Database Corruption<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Due to many reasons, your database can corrupt.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sudden power cut<\/li>\n<li>Connectivity issues<\/li>\n<li>Storage problem<\/li>\n<li>Faulty hardware, when physical or host server is hosting virtual machines<\/li>\n<li>Antivirus program which is incompatible can damage your database<\/li>\n<li>Human errors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.softaken.com\/exchange-server-recovery\"><strong>How to deal with database corruption of Exchange Server?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One can control such corruption with power sources, verified antivirus program, &amp; redundant hardware. Faulty updates can\u2019t be managed easily but by their correct scheduling &amp; testing on test servers, you can decrease the chances.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What to do when you face Exchange database corruption? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When you find your database gets corrupted then you have three options with you \u2013 move mailboxes to another database, repair the database or restore it from backup. All these solutions have their merits &amp; demerits as well. Let us know them in details.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-download-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.softaken.com\/dls\/exchange-recovery.exe\"><span class='mb-text'>Download Now<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> Move Mailboxes to another database<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>When you have any issues with database, first try moving mailboxes into another database. In case the database doesn\u2019t mount, you can\u2019t move the mailboxes and this method will not work. In case the database is mounted, move it using Exchange Admin Center or PowerShell cmdlet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.softaken.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1.png\" alt=\"step 1\" width=\"460\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.softaken.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1.png 460w, https:\/\/www.softaken.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-300x65.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Repairing the damaged database<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Through native tools, you can repair the damaged database. One tool is EseUtil that you can use for repairing the database. For this, database should be dismounted. The database should be in Clean Shutdown or Dirty Shutdown state. When it is in Dirty Shutdown state, it means there is corruption or missing log files.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.softaken.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2.png\" alt=\"step 2\" width=\"265\" height=\"51\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Two types of data recovery i.e. Soft and Hard can be performed using EseUtil. Soft recovery is for minor corruptions. However, this will take time based on size of database. If the database state is Dirty, use hard recovery to repair the data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> During hard recovery, it deletes the data which it found corrupted. You may face data loss issues depending on amount of damage.<\/p>\n<p>EseUtil does not provide assurance for safe &amp; successful results. Moreover, much time and administrative efforts are needed to use this native tool.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> Restore data from backup<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You can easily restore data from backup but this method will not properly resolve the issue. This is because suppose you took backup right now in morning and the data corruption happened in afternoon so you will lose data of one day.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Why need third-party software to recover Exchange database<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>All the above mentioned three solutions will help users in database recovery but they take a lot of time in recovery, more resources and administrative efforts are needed and there is no surety of getting successful results. Due to this, users look for third-party tools like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.softaken.com\/exchange-server-backup-restore\">Softaken Exchange Server Backup &amp; Restore Software<\/a>. <\/strong>This is a handy solution which needs less efforts and time to complete the recovery process.
