OST File Damaged Due to Network Interruption During Sync — How to Recover It?

[Fenox261]

My internet connection dropped while Outlook was syncing, and since then, I have been getting synchronization errors. I think the OST file got damaged mid-sync. Is there any safe way to recover data from it without risking further corruption?

A network interruption during synchronization can damage your OST files, especially if Outlook is updating data when the connection drops. As a result of this, emails, contacts, and attachments can get damaged or inaccessible. To try to recover OST file data, I would recommend OST recovery software. I am using FixVare OST Converter software because it can recover OST file data and save it into various formats such as OST & EML. It provides an easy way to recover OST files and maintain folder hierarchy, and is compatible with all Windows and MS Outlook editions.

If a network interruption occurs during the synchronization process of Outlook, your OST files may become damaged or inaccessible, especially when data is being updated or when the connection drops. Damage to emails, contacts, and attachments may occur. To attempt to recover an OST file, I would recommend using OST recovery software. I have been using Softaken OST Repair Software, which does recover OST file data and saves it into several formats, such as OST and EML. It is very easy to recover OST files while maintaining folder hierarchy and works with all Windows and MS Outlook editions.
