The Granular Restore Option is an administrative tool that works with Arctera System Recovery to provide granular restore capabilities for the following applications:

If you want to be able to restore emails using the Granular Restore Option, you must have Microsoft Outlook 2007, 2010, or 2013 installed. Outlook 2013 can be installed in combination with Outlook 2007 or 2010. Using Granular Restore Option, you cannot view, forward, or restore an email folder or a mailbox (.pst file)with Outlook 2013. If you have Outlook 2013 and 2010 installed, you cannot restore an email folder or a mailbox for either of the Outlook versions.

You can only restore email messages of Exchange 2013 when Outlook 2013 is installed (or Outlook 2013 with 2010 or 2007). To import messages to your Outlook mailbox, you can import the restored messages to Outlook, and they are then added to your mailbox (.pst file)

To use all features of Granular Restore Option, you can install Outlook 2007 or 2010.
