How To Convert an OST File to PST File Manually

In offline (Cached Exchange) mode, Microsoft Outlook stores all Exchange mailbox data in a local file termed OST file. When the Exchange connection is re-established, the modifications made by the user in offline mode are updated to the server mailbox. Exchange Server failures and catastrophes, Exchange mailbox deletions, and other events have no effect on the OST file because it is stored on the user's PC. As a result, in the case of a disaster, Exchange administrators and end-users can use OST files to restore user mailbox data.

Scenarios in Which Converting an OST File to a PST File Is Beneficial:

  • A small number of Exchange mailboxes are removed from the server.
  • A couple of Exchange mailboxes need to be backed up. 
  • An Exchange user wishes to rebuild his OST file, however, there is some data in the OST file that has not been preserved.
  • Due to Exchange corruption, server crashes, and other factors, OST files are unavailable, and users require immediate access to their emails.

If you can log in to Outlook with the same Exchange profile, you can convert any OST file to PST using one of many techniques. Here are several natural techniques for converting OST to PST:

Applying Automated Policies to APIs

Sometimes, developers are needed to apply a policy or, say, the same set of policies to a number of APIs. It makes it tiring and boring for the developers to perform the same activity again and again. This is where the new feature of Anypoint Platform comes in handy, called Automated Policies.

What Are Automated Polices?

Automated Policies make it easier for developers or Anypoint Platform administrators to apply the same set of policies to all your APIs.

Another Major Crypto Exchange Breach Reminds Us NOTHING Is Unhackable

Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has reportedly lost around $40 million dollars worth of Bitcoin to hackers.

“Hackers were able to obtain a large number of user API keys, 2FA codes, and potentially other info,” said CEO Zhao Changpeng in a press release. “The hackers used a variety of techniques, including phishing, viruses and other attacks. We are still concluding all possible methods used. There may also be additional affected accounts that have not been identified yet.”

Truster Vs. Trustless (Part 1): The Role of Trust in the Means of Exchange Operation

Trustless has become a rallying cry for Bitcoin evangelists, focusing public attention on the fact that Bitcoin enables P2P transactions without the participation of a trusted third party acting as an intermediary.

Bitcoin makes it possible to conduct money transfers without intermediaries — intermediaries who could, otherwise, gain control over funds in a transaction, censor transactions, or act as points of failure. Does this give grounds to assert that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are a form of money that does not require trust? Is it possible to completely eliminate trust from monetary relations, and is there even a need to? This article is devoted to the study of the role of trust in monetary transactions, including cryptocurrencies, and its main conclusion is that this role is hard to overestimate.
