Ontrack® PowerControls™

Ontrack® PowerControls™ ExtractWizard

ExtractWizard is a powerful additional feature for PowerControls. If you have not yet restored backed-up Exchange Information Store data, try using PowerControls ExtractWizard. Most backup programs only allow you to restore Exchange data to the same or duplicate server from which it was backed up. Using ExtractWizard, you can restore both private and public Exchange Information Store data from tape and disk backups to any alternate location (e.g., machine, volume, folder), thereby eliminating the need to restore an online backup to a duplicate Exchange Server...better known as a "Recovery Server."

ExtractWizard is compatible with multiple backup formats, with a distinct ExtractWizard Agent supporting each format. PowerControls ExtractWizard for NT Backup is included for no extra cost and works with all versions of NT Backup. In addition to NT Backup support, ExtractWizard Agents are available for other backup formats for an additional fee. Please reference the information below to view which ExtractWizard Agent meets your backup software needs. The PowerControls free trial includes PowerControls ExtractWizard Direct functionality allowing you to read, view and catalog all supported backup formats and save a catalog file that will work with a full edition of PowerControls ExtractWizard Agent

Each PowerControls ExtractWizard Agent provides two methods (Direct and Advanced) to read your backups. The Direct Method of extracting backed-up Exchange data reads the tape or disk file directly without needing the original backup software installed. This method is useful if the original backup software is unavailable and you know the tapes on which the Exchange Information Store backups reside. The Advanced Method uses your existing backup software to extract an Exchange database from a backup server or tape library, across the network, to the computer running ExtractWizard. The Advanced Method takes full advantage of your backup software’s knowledge of individual set locations and robotic library support. This is the fastest method to extract an Exchange Information Store from the most recent backups managed by your backup server. For additional information on ExtractWizard, see the PowerControls User Guide.

ExtractWizard Agents for Legato, Computer Associates, IBM Tivoli, Veritas, HP, CommVault, and UltraBac, and PC Agents for PST as Source and for Advanced Searching are available for purchase.
