case mounting failed, you might see the log and cancel the task.

Note that this temporary VM stays mounted for 15 minuted. If you leave the Extract Exchange Server
Items wizard and then start it back again, you'll be opt to Continue browsing the previously selected
recovery point.

The selected Mailboxes are saved to the specified destination as the Acronis Backup for VMware
self-extractible (.exe) archive. You can run this file on any machine which has Microsoft Outlook
(2003+) installed in order to extract the e-mails and other items in .pst format.

When unpacking the data from the archive you can also select the contents to be extracted and
indicate the folder where to exctract the data to. Click Extract to see the progress. The data will be
extracted into a .pst file which can be opened by Microsoft Outlook (File -> Open). Note, that the
machine where you run the extracting process should have Microsoft Outlook installed (since MAPI is
required).
