Outlook PST Data Recovery
Outlook is usually bundled with the Microsoft Office Suite, but it can also be obtained as a single separate product. Outlook 2000, Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, and Outlook 2010 store emails, contacts, to-do’s, calendar information, and more in a hidden data file usually named outlook.pst.
Many users that do a regular backup of their files neglect to do a backup copy of their pst file because it is not shown in the My Documents folder folders when a user is browsing the contents of the hard drive. For this reason even if they have a current backup of their files they may need to take a crashed hard drive for data recovery service to a data recovery company just to have the pst file rescued.
