Chapter 3. Methods of archiving

3.1. Archiving for history preservation
3.2. Archiving for storage optimization
The Zarafa Archiver can be implemented for two specific purposes:
  1. Archiving for history preservation
  2. Archiving for storage optimization

3.1. Archiving for history preservation

In this situation the goal is to archive automatically all incoming and outgoing messages and to keep track of the changes made to the messages.
This implies that for a configurable amount of time each message exists at least two times in the system; once in the primary store and once in the archive store. The used storage can be reduced by stubbing the messages in the primary store.
In this configuration the zarafa-dagent and zarafa-spooler are also involved to make sure all incoming and outgoing messages get archived.
