Hi,

An user's computers was reinstall the OS, we backup the zdb file, how can i restore a zdb file on outlook again? The reason i don't make a re synchronization with the server it's because we don't save the mail on server, thanks.

PS: I search this before but no answer's about this, i rename the zdb file to pst i backup before the zdb file of course, i try open it with outlook but fails it's display a message say's the pst file was corrupt, i also try to import with the assistant but it's displays the same error when i try to open, thanks if anybody can help me.

answer to my self, for any reason the zdb file it's have errors for outlook, so i try to repair with the pstscan.exe tool, after a couple of hours the zdb was repair, and the import of the zdb file was successful so the steps to restore a zdb file in outlook is:

1. Rename the zdb file to pst.
2. Locate in your OS the scanpst.exe file, run it and repair the pst file.
3. Import in outlook and done.

Hope this its usefully for some one.
