It is very rare and unpredictable that when and why your PST files get corrupt. There is always a possibility of PST file corruption even if you are careful in using your laptop or desktop computer. The data loss possibilities are always very high in case:
  • Computer gets crash
  • Unexpected System error
  • Power Loss
  • Virus Infection
  • Hardware Issues
  • OS Corruption
There are further more options or major error occur while access PST file. These unscheduled errors lead us to always be ready to protect the saved data in PST file. It is possible only by taking regular backup PST files or data.


If you are using Microsoft Outlook for accessing your e-mail messages, there may be data loss situation occur due to I would like to suggest as caution if you want to avoid corruption of PST file it is important to create regular backup of PST file.

Caution to protect PST file from corruption
  • Delete all unwanted data
  • Compact PST file before it’s too large
  • Split your large sized PST file into small sized PST file
  • Take regular back up of PST files
Steps to take backup of PST file. I had already mentioned all necessary steps required to take backup of PST file.

Once you have created the backup of PST file, it will be more sensible to store this file into the secondary drive. After taking backup of PST file it’s necessary to apply password to PST file to save data from unauthorized users.

This way you have saved yourself from any PST file corruption data loss problem. Yes, it is true you can recover the data till the date you have created the PST file backup. I would like to share here an important point which may trouble you even the PST backup file is available.

Sometime backup PST file also get corrupt and there is also possibility that created backup of PST file not able to recover your data from PST file. In such situation you need an Outlook inbox repair tool that allow you to repair your PST file and allow you access them again. Outlook Inbox tool is best tool to recover corrupt PST file data suggested by Microsoft but still there exists some limitations with tool:
  • Inbox Repair too will not let you repair corrupt PST file whose size is more than 2GB
  • Inbox Repair tool will not let you repair heavily damage or corrupt PST file
  • Inbox repair tool resolves only corruption occur in header part of file
     
In brief Inbox repair tool will not promise user for successful recovery of data. I would suggest going for professional Outlook PST Repair software that will help you to recover heavily damaged PST file. Try Stellar Phoenix Outlook PST Repair software with new advanced features.
