We are looking at implimenting an e-mail archiving solution. We are and Exchange 2000 Outlook 2000 shop. We've got 3 in mind. The first is KVS (veritas) Enterprise Vault, the second it Zantaz's EAS and the third is C2C's Archive 1.

Has anyone ever dealt with this and do you have any input, anything at all would be great. Any recommendations, tips, hardware, anything. Thanks

We chose KVS over EAS and implemented - there are shortcoming with each, but we though KVS was best. There are few differences with KVS and EAS.

We also have EmailXtender from Legato. Personally, I wish we hadn't installed it, but it works for most, I guess. They have a new version coming out very soon which should address the concerns we have with it.

C2C was dropped off of our list as a second tier application in that market. But this was about 18 months ago... Thing may have changed since then.

This is no help to you, but Im using GWArchive for GroupWise.

The reason Im posting is to ask if your looking for archiveing to satisfy audit/compliance regulations? If so, Im doing the same, and would like some feedback on best-practices, implementation, documentation of regs etc.

For anyone that works in the financial industry and has not implemented some tracking system, please talk to your legal dept before fail your next audit. The regs are much more difficult to comply with now.

I'm doing it because of space issues we are running into and when we upgrade to the next version of exchange (could be a few years) it will be much easier because of less data on exchange.

There are other reasons like the ability to get rid of PSTs, being able to restore a single message or contact or calander with out restoring the entire IS, and also allowing our exchange server to be more of a mail routing server other than a storage server.

Its the other way round for me. I have to keep the crap, and be able to produce any email in/out within 24hrs. Backups dont even fill the requirement, as anything received/deleted within a day is not captured.
