System Requirements

  • Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000; Windows XP
Recovery Limitations of the 2 GB Truncation Utility:

You must have 2 GB of free hard disk space (to make a copy of the .pst file).
The utility truncates the .pst file to under 2 GB. To have enough working space, truncate the file between 20 to 25 megabytes (MB) less than the 2 GB limit. The truncated data is removed from the new copy, which means some messages are missing from the recovered copy.
