With our years of expertise, we are well aware of the apprehensions that future users of the solution may have.
Today, we’re answering the 4 most common questions:

“My current backup solution is sufficient”.
Traditional backup solutions don’t archive all the information linked to an email sent and received.
The Barracuda Message Archiver solution allows you to back up all the information in these emails, and access it in its entirety at any time.
It should also be noted that, unlike the Barracuda Networks solution, these solutions do not enable files to be found quickly and easily.
“My business sector is not subject to message archiving legislation”.
Even if your sector of activity is not subject to the law on legal archiving, every company must be able to legally provide electronic documents, which may be requested by the courts.
You may be held financially liable if you are unable to provide them.
In any case, it’s advisable for companies to think carefully about their email backup solution.
“The solution is expensive”
The Barracuda Message Archiver solution is affordable, compared to the financial fines you’re exposed to if you can’t provide the requested documents.
Another advantage of the solution is that it reduces the amount of storage space dedicated to messaging.
Compared with other email archiving solution manufacturers, there are no additional per-user fees.
“I’m already using Microsoft Exchange 2010 for archiving, so I don’t need another solution.”
Archiving is in fact managed and stored on the mail server, which exhausts server performance and decreases its capacity.
What’s more, users can delete emails after sending/receiving them, which makes it impossible to record all emails sent and received.
Please also note that an additional license is required (“Enterprise Client Access Licenses”, not included in the basic Microsoft Exchange costs).
