Export particular Public Folder hierarchy to PST

We have a requirement to backup public folders in PST, but not all the public folders in environment needs to be exported, really looking a way out to export only some specific hierarchy. If there is specific outlook filter or cmdlet on PST export request could do so kindly suggest an exact filter that may help ?

By using outlook you can take a complete export and then while importing import only those folders what you need by logging into the outlook profile.

Alternative, try this automated solution i.e. Import Export Solution that allows to export specific public folders hierarchy to pst files.

Complete Data is more than 1 TB.. not very feasible solution to export all at once.

Use Outlook to export public folders (data) into PST. You can select specific public folder to convert into pst form.Check the helpful: http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/migrating-public-folder-data

But alternatively, you can also give a try to third party tools like Dell-Quest, Stellar, Veeam, or CodeTwo, cause exporting 1TB data using export-import features may take longer time and risk of data loss.

Two options

1. Use the Mailbox Export cmd with Include / Exclude Folders option https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Ee633455%28v=EXCHG.150%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

2. Utilize a 3rd party product that provides a GUI interface to then exclude specific folders and content so that you only export the desired data

Hey Aditya,

If you're using Outlook 2010, it is the only option (by using import-export method) to export public folder/subfolder data in pst. However, I am not sure about random hierarchies. You may give a try to software which I listed above. Check the demo version of stellar or any-other tool, and let me know if it works!



Edited: Make sure that folder view is enabled

I dont quite understand your concern/question could you please explain further? Are you saying this is a public folder that is not mounted within your current Exchange environment

August 17th, 2015 12:00pm

these are part of our environment however the same are on legacy servers and currently not mail enabled. so my concern was as these public folders are on legacy nor are they mail enabled and do not even sync with any of exchange 2010 server..so exporting out data from cmdlet may not be of much help here .. really looking a way out to export export few selected out of them in PST .. doing this from outlook is a way but unable to get filter to export only specific out of same.
