Don’t tell me you’re relying on the back-up tape for archiving! They can be easily destroyed, as can be seen in the recent CIA case. Also, as we are all aware back-up tapes are only snapshots in time, and don’t contain the full entire email story. Did you know that you can send / receive email during the day, delete the mails before you go home, and they will not be backed up. I was speaking with the compliance team at a major financial organisation recently, and the HR, Legal & the Compliance departments thought that IT was doing a back-up of the email system. They were shocked to hear from IT during the meeting, that they were having difficulty backing up the mail server and hadn’t backed it up for months! Common? And they are regulated! Safe to say they swiftly implemented the Cryoserver system, www.cryoserver.com  and they can meet their regulatory compliance requirements. Thank God!
