GFI Archiver uses various techniques to collect items for archiving. Emails are collected from a journal mailbox while calendar items are fetched automatically from Microsoft Outlook using the GFI Archiver Archive Assistance. Files are collected directly from the PC's hard disk drives automatically using the File Archive Assistant. Once an item is collected from the source, it passes a number of pre-processing steps including compression and encryption, then it is archived into the allocated archive store.
Archive stores use Microsoft SQL Server as a back-end database. Alternatively items can be archived using a combination of SQL Server and also as encrypted files on disk for faster performance. GFI Archiver automatically manages the storage allocations and also the SQL Server databases. Once a database reaches its limits, it automatically creates a new one and starts archiving in the new database.
GFI Archiver bolsters the ability to meet compliance standards by archiving all correspondence and files in a secure, tamper-proof store for a pre-determined period of time. It also enables you to meet e-discovery requests to find and export specific items belonging to a user or group of users quickly and easily from the archive stores. All data can be exported saving the organization from any legal proceedings.
