Storage

Exclaimer Mail Archiver archives messages to a data store, where messages are indexed in an efficient structure for fast, powerful searching and easy management of archived messages.

A default store is automatically configured when Exclaimer Mail Archiver is installed. If required, additional stores can be added using the storage branch of the console tree. In most cases, simply archiving all messages to the default store will suffice however some organisations may have more complex requirements, with different archive stores for different organisational entities.

For example, an organization may be comprised of a number of separate companies require one archive store for each company; or an organization may prefer different archive stores for different departments. Alternatively, you may wish to configure a 'near-line' store for archiving email that is frequently accessed and a 'far-line' store for messages that are unlikely to be accessed very often. Each store is associated with its own general details,  data settings, availability settings and security permissions, so you can determine which users can access (i.e. search) each store and what level of access they have.

For further information, including how to view, add, update or remove stores, see working with stores.

Each store is associated with its own search index. For further information, please refer to the indexes section of this help.
