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.
