How about those who currently use backup software to create corporate email archives why should they change?

It's a great question because many organizations believe backup and archiving. are the same process. If you're currently using backup the risk is what happens when you have to access emails for discovery purposes or if an employee wants to go back and reference an email from a while ago. Those are hard tasks and can be expensive tasks if all the emails are on backup tapes. There's also risk that you can never get the data backup from a backup tape – it's either corrupted or you can't read the tape. So there's a risk in accessibility. Our suggestion is you always want to have backups in case of a restore but archiving should keep data more accessible and searchable in the event that somebody actually needs to use or retrieve messages rather quickly.

Very useful opinion indeed. I fully agree with every single word you have written in this post behind. There were few situations in my life, when I was trying to load my old backup but it was corrupted or something like that. Creepy situations. That's why it is 10 times better to archive your messages and be calm about them. Thanks one more time for this post and I will be waiting for other great posts from you in the future.

Backup is the most important
Backup is the most important thing nowadays in the various kind of business. I can't believe that some organizations are not doing daily or better hourly backup. It is an easy process and it doesn't take much time or efforts. Thanks for the great article indeed. Keep them coming guys!
