Difference between Exchange Databases Physical and Logical Corruption

  • 發行項

 

Physical corruption – when the database from an ESE structure is no longer valid in some way

Logical corruption – when the data within the database is no longer valid, but the structure from an ESE perspective is valid

 

Physical corruption cannot replicate. It’s simply not possible with Exchange replication process. Exchange performs a multi-step process to validate the healthiness of the log file prior to replay on the passive copies (in fact Exchange even validates a log file after it is closed on the source now in SP1).

 

 

Logical corruption can replicate. So how can do you deal with logical corruption?

· You can move the mailbox, thereby deleting the bad data. Useful, especially when logical corruption occurred outside the backup retention window.

· You can use single item recovery and restore the original item. Useful when editing message caused corruption (client app caused corruption scenario).

· You can use the Calendar Repair Assistant to detect and correct inconsistencies that occur for single and recurring meeting items for mailboxes homed on that Mailbox server so that recipients won't miss meeting announcements or have unreliable meeting information.

· You can use New-MailboxRepairRequest which can address corruptions with search folders, item counts, folder views, and parent/child folder issues.

· You can maintain an Exchange backup (VSS backup or lagged copy if backup retention window is between 0 and 14 days).

    Is there any way to prevent the corruption from happening, like delaying the replication (not to be instant), and how we can detect the corruption if it occurred?.

    You forgot to mention lagged copies as a way to recover.  Can you please add how to detect logical corruption issues so you know what method to use?

    Logical corruption in Microsoft Exchange Server is a very common problem faced by users. It could occur due to corruption with Information Store, Tables, Keys, Indexes or sometimes to whole database. Logical database corruption is more problematic and difficult to identify than the physical database corruption. The database administrator and users are generally unaware of logical corruption incidence. Unluckily Exchange Server does not contain any in-built utility to diagnose it. Only a third party Exchange database recovery application may help the users to work around the logical as well as physical database corruption issues. One such application is : www.recover-computerdata.com/exchange-server-recovery.html

    A corrupt/damaged Exchange database (.edb) file can be the result of several reasons like dirty shutdown, hardware problem, database header problems, antivirus software scanning, log file(s) corruption or loss etc. Whatever be the cause, the corruption in EDB file leads to inaccessibility of the users mailboxes. In case, this built-in tool does not work, then users have to opt for a third party repair program.

    Here is one such unique : - http://www.pcrecoveryutility.com/exchange-server-recovery.html

    You just try the free trial version and get the results.
