Email Archiving
Despite all the attention given to disaster recovery and backup, it has escaped most people’s attention that failing to backup and archive email is often as big a problem as all the other forms of electronic data they worry about put together. Worse still many users simply don’t realise that their email is NOT backed up because much backup software CANNOT backup email. They think they are covered and they simply are not. Email has become the default method for distributing most documents, despite the fact that it’s probably the least efficient way of transferring files: it wins out because it’s easy. This means that for many documents that we receive the only copy is kept in email folders creating huge capacity problems.
Email is everywhere in today’s business. It provides us with rapid global communication – everything from mission-critical negotiations to co-ordinating with suppliers to collaborating on ideas to making lunch arrangements with a colleague. We couldn’t do business without it.
But did you know:
- You could be legally required to produce emails in response to a business dispute or a request from an employee?
- Many back-up systems don’t back-up email at all, or omit to back-up sent mail?
- You can’t rely on individuals or manual processes to manage email?
