The onsite data archiving strategy embodies the creation of multiple snapshots of parts of the electronic state of the Client’s LinExchange or MailActive server or servers. This strategy would thus form an integral part of a data redundancy programme. The Archive7 service is facilitated through the careful integration of SevenC’s Diskmirror7, Archive7, Rsync, Cron, Ssh, and various other sub-systems. The multiple snapshots are stored on a dedicated Archive7 server, this can be done on-site or hosted depending on your specific business requirements. These snapshots capture part or all of these electronic states at configurable specific instances in time, in accordance to an agreed archive regimen. A typical archive regimen is to: Create a single snapshot each night for the 7 nights Create a single snapshot each month for 11 months Create a single snapshot each year in the 12th month of each year for 5 years The monthly snapshots in a subsequent year overwrite the corresponding snapshot for the current year.
