Also, Microsoft will not provide any support after performing Hard Recovery. So, it is always suggested to perform hard recovery as a last resort and take a backup of the database before performing this process.<\/p><p>To avoid data loss and restore all the data from corrupted database, you can use a third-party Exchange repair tool, such as Stellar Repair for Exchange. This tool repairs the corrupt Exchange database (EDB) file and saves the repaired file data in PST and various other file formats, like MSG, EML, etc. It can also directly export the data from repaired EDB file to a live Exchange Server database or Office 365 with complete integrity.
