You can also do batch archiving by using Hot Folders and Hot Emails.

Byfrost can automatically mark individual documents and files with a deletion date, end of life, after which Byfrost will automatically delete and clean-up all expired documents in due time, saving administration time and data storage space.

The main purpose of a fileserver is to give users managed access to shared files with a high level of security for the files, network and users. All of this is already included in Byfrost.

Do a backup of all email accounts in your company to be stored in a separate area in Byfrost, and at the same time benefit from the security, full encryption and user friendliness which you are already familiar with. The backup email area enables you to make searches and restore emails into Byfrost recovery for full access to email and their attachments.

If you do not need direct access to all your emails but only a selection, you can let Byfrost do a full backup and leave a selection stored directly in Byfrost for full and rapid access. This can easily be done in each user’s email client by clicking the button “Archive” or copying the chosen emails into a special folder for backup after which Byfrost takes care of the rest. Should you have missed one important email then you can always recover it from the Byfrost backup emails, quick and easy. You will never lose an email again!

To keep your backup emails space tidy and clean, you can choose the option of having emails older than 1 to 10 years automatically removed.
