The major issue with the growth of the size is the corruption since ends up in information loss, a serious threat.
The only solution is to reduce the size of the file when it seems to be increased by splitting the file. By splitting, the size can be maintained and users won’t have to be worried about the data loss. Split PST tool will help you to split up the PST files into MB and/or GB size. From the coming session you will get to know more about the tool, starting from its size to features and much more.
This option of the software allows the users to split the large PST file either ANSI or Unicode to small size ranging from 5 MB to 10 GB. With this, users can keep the file in equal size, reduces hanging of Outlook. Users can specify the range of division according to their need and can even specify the location.
Split By Year:
With this option, you can split the PST files year wise. You can specify the year from which the split should start and end. Once when the year is specified, the tool will create the files accordingly.
Split By Date:
The split by date option is supported for splitting the file with data. Here, user should mention the date and the tool will provide two outputs; one PST will be of old, other created as per the specified date.
Split By Folder: This splits the PST file according to the folders in it. You will see the split as, inbox.pst, outbox.pst, contacts.pst etc.
The tool functions very well but, the limitation or the restriction that you come across may be is, it doesn’t support splitting of damaged PST files. Users can split those PSTs which are not corrupted or damaged. Though splitting of inaccessible file sounds weird, there should have some option for the split. Apart from that there are no drawbacks seen for the tool, the tool is efficient for splitting.
