RE: Archiving Solution

[Jim Holmgren]

Same here - I've begun preliminary work on our Ex 2010 architecture.  There are 
No Mailbox Limits here at %work% - I'm stunned and dismayed.   
 
We are leaning heavily toward ComVault's solution as we already have a ComVault 
infrastructure and trained staff on-hand.  I played with it in training and 
read the docs.  Seems like a pretty good solution.   Introducing an Archival 
solution should help a whole bunch.

  The main reason I want to go after email archiving Real Soon Now is because 
Outlook really starts to suck mud once the OST gets up into the multi-gigabyte 
range.  And archiving to PST sucks as much or more, in different ways.

RE: Archiving Solution

[David Lum]

What I've implemented in a small (50 user, 500GB total server space 
environment) with good success and happy users: ROBOCOPY to an archive share 
(in this case, 1TB USB HDD hung off a server). Same users allowed to RWXD on 
non-archived files have READ ONLY to the archives. File/folder structure is 
identical to "active" files. The only folders archived by the robocopy are the 
shares on the file/print servers.

We're considering doing something similar at %dayjob%  with 350 users and a LOT 
more data - get old data off expensive SAN disks and onto cheaper and less 
"performance critical" local server drives.

Depends on the environment and why you want to archive. In the small client it 
was to not unnecessarily pay for online backup of files that simply aren't THAT 
business critical, and those archive files are disk-to-disk backup to a NAS at 
their site 2 miles away.

Yeah, doesn't help the OP AT ALL.

I have some peripheral experience with the Sunbelt stuff - I didn't
implement it myself, and it was given to one of my minions by the IT
manager, which pissed me off no end.

 o- Don't mix the implementation of the two products - Just.
Don't. In particular, don't mix the archive files into the same
directories.

 o- Make sure you don't throw random crappy old hardware at it.

My next points are true of any complex solution like this:

 o- Don't give it to a junior sysadmin to implement.

 o- Make sure you have a comprehensive plan for implementation and testing

Specific issues that come to mind immediately:

 o- We had to make exceptions for several different file types
(.mdb, CAD drawings, and some others) because the clients couldn't
stand the wait time for the retrieval from the archiver, and the
client would hang, and then we'd have to unarchive the file manually.

 o- Once the emails and files have been archived and mingled in
the directories created on the archive server, there is no
distinguishing them, in any way.

We cheaped out and used an older server with poor RAID hardware for
the OS drives, and we're still paying the price.

There are other problems, but I'll leave you with a bit of philosophy:

 o- Adding more disk is probably cheaper than trying to do file
archiving. The cost of the software and the maintenance/management
overhead almost certainly more expensive than adding more disk.

 o- Email archiving is the same story with one caveat: the only
real justification for it: Legal protection. If you need email
archiving for regulatory compliance, customer service or contractual
issues, you're good to go. Otherwise, don't do it.

Re: Archiving Solution

[Andrew S. Baker]

I agree on all points but the email archival.

Meaning, I think email archival is desirable in a wide range of
circumstances including the regulatory ones.

File archival, however, is best served by not having to do it at all, or
implementing better document management on a whole so that one does not end
up with 9000 different versions of files that people feel they absolutely
*need*.

RE: Archiving Solution

[Michael B. Smith]

Uh, not disparaging the Sunbelt solution in the least, but these two products 
are kind of at different ends of the product spectrum.

Simpana is an enterprise solution, and does a lot more than Sunbelt's solution. 
Sunbelt's solution is targeted at the small-and-mid-market company.

Kinda like comparing, uh, tangerines and grapefruit?

Re: Verizon FIOS for Small Business

The TV needs certain configuration in the firewall/router, and not all of it

can't you connect your cisco gear in to thier ont.
I setup one office, and the fios tech just left me with ethernet from the
ONT, and I then could setup my firewall with the static ips provided by
fios. ethernet from ONT to A public Switch then the other firewalls connect
to the public switch, and each one is set with a static ip.

You only need the actiontec router, if you also going to use fios tv.

Anyone know if you can connect your own SMB grade firewall / nat device /

  You could do this with the find utility from the Cygwin Unix tools port.

  This would find files I own which were modified between 30 and 60 days ago:

find -user BSCOTT -a -ctime +30 -a -ctime -60

  Redirect the output to a file.  Then do something to copy from that
list of files.  You could do "FOR /F %i IN (find.out) DO COPY %i
c:\dest", for example, although invoking COPY seriallly is going to be
slow.  Better would be something that can take a list of files.

  Note that find utility from the http://unxutils.sf.net/ and
http://gnuwin32.sf.net/ ports are both broken for this.  The former
always returns "user" for the user ID, and the later always returns
the user ID of the current user.

Someone will have to suggest to NSS that they include it in their next
update.

And let's hope that their methodology is made *somewhat* transparent going
forward.  (Not so much that vendors can simply game the system, but enough
that controversy over the effectiveness and relevance of the tests is
minimized.)

A few weeks ago, I couldn't believe the heavy amount of spam I was
receiving, and then, for the last 2 weeks, it's like someone turned off
the spiggit!

Did someone pull the plug on Nigeria and China?
 
Barely had any spam today.
 
I'm getting worried about the hundreds of millions I'm losing in
unclaimed dead Nigerian king accounts.
