1. Can I archive email from an on-premise mail server like MS Exchange, Zimbra, etc?

Yes. Vaultastic supports a wide range of mail servers such as Zimbra, MS Exchange, Lotus Domino, MDaemon, Postfix, Mithi SkyConnect, and Mithi Connect Xf, etc.

You can configure a forwarding or journaling rule on the primary mail server to secure a copy of every incoming and outgoing mail to Vaultastic.

Mails from all MS Exchange versions which support journaling can be backed onto Vaultastic. This includes MS Exchange 2007, MS Exchange 2010, and MS Exchange 2013.

2. How do I restore a few email or the entire mailbox of a user from Vaultastic?

As an admin/user of Vaultastic, you can export mail from your Vaultastic account and restore it into your live mailbox.
Please refer to this document for the Steps to export email from Vaultastic

3. Where is my archived email data stored?

The deployment of your Vaultastic account is an AWS region of your choice. Currently, Vaultastic SaaS is available in the APAC region (Singapore) or the India region.

Your data is stored on elastic cloud storage objects offering extremely high durability.

More
4. I backup my Mail server regularly. Do I still need Vaultastic?

It's great to know that you are maintaining regular backups of your mail server. However, please note that all actions on the mailstore including deleting of mail or mailboxes are reflected in the periodic backups.

Therefore if a user deletes mail, the next backup will not contain the deleted mail.

Vaultastic in contrast secures a copy of all emails before delivery. This ensures that even if a user accidentally or intentionally deletes mail from the primary mailbox, it is still available in the Vaultastic store.

Long story short, a periodic mail server backup cannot replace an automatic email archival.

More
5. Does Vaultastic archive instant messaging, calendar, file store, videos and other sources of data?

At this point in time, Vaultastic archives only email data.

We do have plans of incorporating other forms of conversations and data from other sources as part of the archival process in the near future.

6. My company is not part of a regulated industry. Do I still need to archive email?

The rapid digitization of organizations across industries is driving reliance on modern tools for business communication.

And email has become a dominant form of communication between organizations and their customers and partners.

This shift creates large volumes of unstructured business communication data, making recovery of data complex while handling data loss, theft, or corruption cases.

And the growing sophistication and number of cyberattacks are not helping to manage data-related risks.

A secure, immutable, central archive can help you preserve email data in tamper-proof vaults for extended periods and ensure that the data is online, search-ready, and discoverable on demand.

7. I use a cloud email service like Google Workspace/MS365, which gives me 30/50GB of storage per user. Why do I still need to archive email when my cloud mailbox storage is sufficient?

Your end-users typically manage your cloud mailboxes and have full rights to delete and move emails.

Hence you are never sure if the mailboxes have all the emails the users ever sent or received.

Thus an inability to retrieve any data requested by the auditor or compliance officer can put your organization at a significant legal or compliance risk.

Besides, you also run the risk of IP theft or data loss, which can financially cost your organization.

As a data management best practice, having an independent, immutable archive of all your data will substantially de-risk your organization and improve your ability to respond to data access requests.
