MailArchiva is an E-mail archiving platform that automatically retrieves E-mails from Microsoft Exchange and stores them on multiple hard disks.

MailArchiva stores all incoming, outgoing, and internal E-mails for long-term storage. It ensures that the integrity of your information remains intact by storing messages directly on the filesystem, as opposed to a database (avoiding database cost and the potential loss of data through database corruption).

Abstract:  Even when retention policies are in place, companies often have only a matter of days to turn over requested documentation for government audits or litigation -- so the laborious and expensive process of sifting though backup tapes and email archives for specific phrases or keywords is not acceptable.

RISS, an active archiving platform that transforms the tedious search for specific unstructured data into exploitable information that can be retrieved in seconds.

When this happens, you may not even notice a problem until you stop and try to restart the Exchange services, only to find that they won't start. The scary thing about a situation such as this is that it often means that you've been backing up corrupt data for an extended period of time, and your backups may only contain corrupted data.Read more on the below source URL..
