Archive Manager 5.9.3 - SDK Guide

SDK reference Deployment considerations for Exchange System requirements Hardware recommendations Pre-installation preparations Installing and configuring Archive Manager Upgrading/Uninstalling Archive Manager Post-installation tasks Appendix A: Attachment store types

NTFS/Windows file system

The file system is the default storage mechanism for Archive Manager. This is a directory structure, usually in C:\ArchiveManager\Data, with each file stored represented by its database id and file type. For example: 34.gif

These files are stored in blocks of 1000 files per directory. Each database ID has up to twelve 0’s added to the front. For example, 34 becomes 000 000 000 034, and this is converted in a directory name:

c:\archivemanager\data\000\000\000\000\34.gif

By default, the entire tree, from c:\archivemanager\data down, is set to be compressed using NTFS compression. These files will not be rewritten, so any backup scheme can be used. It is recommended that you do an incremental backup.

NetApp SnapLock

The NetApp SnapLock Setup Wizard allows you to create volumes or WORMS on which Archive Manager can put attachment stores. The volumes containing attachment stores are an effective tool for compliance.

The NetApp SnapLock Wizard is run from the Archive Manager Installer. Run the installer during the installation process, unless you already have all the necessary volumes created.

* 
NOTE: If a CIFS share is already in place, you can upgrade from a Windows file system attachment store to NetApp SnapLock by these two steps:
1
Copy the filesystem data folder (containing the archived attachments) to the NetApp CIFS share.
2
In the Archive Manager SQL database, StorageLocation Table: Change the connection string (originally in the form "DATA=\\archivemanagerserver\filesystemlocation") to point to the new CIFS share location (for example, "DATA=\\NetApp\data").

Prerequisites

•
Install all of the necessary licenses for the NetApp Data ONTAP operating system.
•
In DataONTAP, run the CIFS (Common Internet File System) setup. The CIFS shows the volume to the Windows system as a drive.

Running the NetApp SnapLock Setup wizard

The NetApp SnapLock Setup Wizard is run from the Archive Manager Installer. The NetApp SnapLock Configuration screen contains a Launch SnapLock Setup Wizard button. When you launch the wizard, fill in the information on the following screens:
