Options
Click "Options" tab in the dialog, then click "Options" subtab in the left side, you can set general options in recovery process:
•If "Split output PST file when it is larger than" option is selected, then you can specify a size limit of the output PST file in MB. During the recovery process, if the output PST file is larger than this limit, then a new split PST file will be created to accommodate the remaining recovered items. For example, if you enable this option and specify 1000MB as the size limit, then if the output pst file myfile_fixed.pst is larger than 1000MB when some recovered items have been saved into it, a split PST file called myfile_fixed_1.pst will be created to accommodate the remaining recovered items, and if myfile_fixed_1.pst reaches 1000MB again, a new split PST file called myfile_fixed_2.pst will be created, and so on.
Because Outlook 97-2002 PST file has a 2GB file size limit, you can use this option to prevent the output PST file from being too large. General recommended file size limit is 1000MB.
•If "Recover unattached attachments" option is selected, then DataNumen Outlook Drive Recovery will recover the data block that is not attached to a message as an attachment. This option is general enabled so that DODR can recover as much data as possible.
•If "Recover root folder heuristically" option is selected, then DataNumen Outlook Drive Recovery will recover the root folder with a heuristic method. This option is general disabled unless DODR cannot recover from the root folder correctly.
•If "Fast scan and recovery" option is selected, then DataNumen Outlook Drive Recovery will perform a fast scan on your PST file. In most cases, you can safely select this option. However, if DataNumen Outlook Drive Recovery cannot recover the items you want and you want to try a more thorough scan on your PST file, then you can disable this option and restart a reparation on your file.
•If "Ignore zero data chunks" option is selected, then DataNumen Outlook Drive Recovery will ignore the zero data chunks. In most cases, you can safely select this option.
•If "Always put recovered items under interpersonal message root folder" option is selected, then DataNumen Outlook Drive Recovery will always put the recovered items under the interpersonal message(IPM) root folder so that they are visible to the customers. Usually you should enable this option.
•If "Remove empty folders(folders that don't contain any messages, objects and subfolders)" option is selected, then DataNumen Outlook Drive Recovery will remove all folders(except the system default folders) that don't contain any messages, objects and subfolders. If you find there are too many useless empty folders in the recovered PST file, then you can select this option and repair the source file again to eliminate the empty folders.
•If "Read bulk data to improve the read speed" option is selected, then DataNumen Outlook Drive Recovery will read data in bulk to improve the read and scan speed. This option is enabled by default, which will work for most of the cases. For some rare cases, if you think your disk or drive contains some bad sectors and you want to perform a more thorough scan operation, then you can disable this option.
•If "Super-fast scan and recovery" option is selected, then DataNumen Outlook Drive Recovery will perform a super-fast scan and recovery on your drive or disk. This option is enabled by default, which will work for most of the cases. For some rare cases, if you want to perform a more thorough scan and recovery, then you can disable this option.
Note:
•DataNumen Outlook Drive Recovery will remember the options the last time you set.
