In Exchange Server, the database of entire mailboxes stored in Public and Private EDB File format according to different Exchange Server Version. An Exchange EDB File can be corrupted due to various reasons. To recover specific items stored in mailboxes and fix corruption issues, Power shell commands and Granular Exchange Recovery tool are needed.

Exchange Server holds the different sections of information such as email, mailboxes, contacts section to save user details, Calendar details to save appointment and meeting details, create  TO-DO  list in Tasklist, and many other features offered to the user.
