eMail Backup and Restore 

Mail contains your company's key knowledge

Mail is the place many people work out of. For people who spend a lot of their time communicating with others as part of their job, a great deal of their knowledge is contained in the documents and messages that they have sent and received. Messages to others in the company follow the process used to create a deliverable or reach a decision. Messages to people outside of the company drive purchases, contracts, partnerships, and productivity. The reason mail files keep increasing in size is because mail is becoming more and more the place where work is performed. 

 

Users need access to the current and historic mail

Mail Systems hold the history of work. The first place a person looks to find a reference material or developed work or communication is often the mail system. Sometimes the person is looking for a document or data. The mail message contains knowledge that the person wants to absorb or continue developing, or use as a template. Sometimes the person want the mail message as a record of the mail being sent or received. The mail message itself is the knowledge being sought. The Valid eMail Manager lets the user review and restore mail messages easily from the mail archive.

 

Companies need to efficiently manage large quantities of email

The quantity of mail is going to continue to increase as the role of mail increases in the company.  The mail system is not the ideal place to keep the majority of a companies key information.  That information should be managed to maximize its use and value.  The Valid eMail Manager allows mail to become part of the managed corporate information infrastructure. Mail can be archived out of the mail system based on rules and easily accessed again when its needed.  The retention schedule can be customized based on time as well as system and user events.

 

Most mail archive and backup solutions focus on Backup and fall short in the Restore area!

 

Create rules for automatic backup

Mail can be automatically archived based on policy settings. The system is policy driven using a centralized management area.  Control can be centralized or distributed based on role and organization.  Configurations can be set up to handle specific types of information, groups of users, and specific mail folders.  Retention rules, Access Control, and other options can be set for each configuration.

 

Users can select and file mail for backup

Users can file mail into the archive easily by dragging and dropping messages into managed folders.  Each folder on the users desktop can have its own retention and security rules.  The mail can be replaced with a link for easy access. 

 

Easy to restore messages

Users can view and restore their own archived messages.  Full search and customizable navigation is provided to review and restore mail messages.  Messages can be responded to and forwarded from the repository with restoring them back to the mail file as well.

 

Mail messages are retained for the right period

Mail systems and classic mail archives are not optimized for long term storage comprehensive storage of mail messages. Messages can be retained for the right period of time automatically.  Classic mail archives retain all messages for the same period of time whether it is a lunch date message or an important legal matter.  The Valid eMail Manager can process messages based on configuration policies and apply retention rules that fit your business.
