Are you looking for archiving data and clearing space on the Exchange database or using it later for eDiscovery which is that Enterprise Vault provides

Hi,<br />
<br />
Well, it seems that CodeTwo Backup is the thing you are looking for. The software allows you to store locally the content of users' mailboxes - it keeps all versions of every single item that can be found on your on-premises Exchange. Therefore, you always see necessary content and even if a user (intentionally or not) deleted some items you can always recover them and check when that happened. <br />
<br />
You can restore the items to same/different folder, mailbox or environment. The content is browseable through the application and also you can quickly search the stored data. The storages can be protected with a password if there is such a need. <br />
<br />
More information you can find here: <a href="https://www.codetwo.com/backup-for-office-365/" rel="ugc">CodeTwo Backup</a><br />
<br />
And of course my colleagues from Customer Service are more than happy to help you while you test.

eDiscovery. &nbsp;One of the users is having an issue finding emails from 2 years back.<br />
<br />
They are looking for a good archiving solution for their email as they need to have a quick an easy way to search and file emails from 7 years back. &nbsp;(They work with government agencies and such).<br />
<br />
There hasn't been a complaint that I know of about space on the Exchange server.<br />
<br />
@CodeTwo...Not looking for vendors selling their own wares. &nbsp;No offence, but I'm looking for un-biased opinions.

Thanks.. &nbsp;During the discovery process I found out that we standardized on Barracuda.<br />
<br />
After that it was easy to create the quote.

First off, I hate these types of questions...opinions....<br />
<br />
I have a customer that is using Exchange 2013 and they want an Email archive solution...<br />
<br />
I am somewhat familiar with Enterprise Vault from the perspective of migrating the data TO the system, not accessing it.<br />
<br />
I have also herd of Barracuda Email Archiving.<br />
<br />
So here goes....What is the &quot;best&quot; one that will get me the most bang for my buck in terms of use, both for moving the data into the system and for the users to access their archived data.<br />
<br />
All good suggestions will get even points. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks!!!

Email archiving for Exchange 2013

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
