using e-Discovery PST Export Tool, you will be able to save backup of your Office 365 mailbox in PST format only. And due to the complexities involved with this method, it cannot be considered feasible for all. You must give a try to Office 365 Backup Tool that not only save Office 365 backup in PST format but into PDF, EML, EMLX, MBOX and MSG. I downloaded the software from Microsoft's official website: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Office-365-Backup-Tool-24174dee

    You guys are very persistent at trying to sell people a product that is not fit for purpose. 

     

    Once more with feeling: Do not back up Office 365 data to anything other than a secure environment that guarantees the ability to restore. Do not listen to anyone who says that you can backup Office 365 data to PSTs or any other local file type. All you do is to extract valuable data from a secure repository and move copies of that data into insecure and potentially problematic places. Don't let users use these tools either because it gives them a way to move data outside the control of the company, and you might end up in the situation of the Sony Corp. hack when attackers were able to copy PSTs from user PCs and share their content with the world. Let's eradicate PSTs instead of encouraging their use.

    Hey Bella, 

     

    I don't think that the Technet Gallery is a good place to provide a Demo Edition of a Software. 

    Not sure if this is even allowed. I raised a ticket.

    The *.exe is not event trusted / signed.

      What's happening is that we have a group of people coming into this forum and trying to sell bad software to people who are looking for a solution and are unsure of what they should buy. Thanks for raising a ticket. I hope that these folk are banned from this community...

        yeah. seriously. where is the right info amidst all these marketeers.And why is nobody talking about the tool my entire team has been working on? I feel Mail Backup X is popular and handy enough.
