Description
The Outlook emails, Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks folders as well as certain Outlook and Calendar subfolders can be downloaded as a .pst file.
Note: If you download the Deleted Items folder under Outlook, only the mails in the folder, and not deleted Calendar, Contacts, or Task items will be downloaded.
Download the .pst file
1. Navigate to the Outlook folder you want to restore and make sure you select the snapshot from the time you need.

To restore from a history snapshot:
Click on the monitor icon and then select History Snapshots.
2. Select the point in time from which you want to restore.
3. Select the more options icon to the right of the folder and then select Download as .pst.

5. You may check the progress in Job monitor to see the status of completion.
After completion, you can also see the download link in SaaS Backup portal by clicking on Bell icon as below.
