Archive Manager for Files 8.8 - Administration Guide

Overview

Metalogix Archive Manager for Files is a robust solution for archiving and retrieving files from cost effective file storage systems. When files are archived, they are replaced with a shortcut that saves a huge amount of space. The shortcuts ensure that archived files are available to users whenever they are needed and this solution preserves the existing structure of the file system that is used on a daily basis. Archived files can be also retrieved even if the original files are deleted including previous versions of the same file. The integrated search engine provides the ability to search through the archives by applying various search criteria.

Metalogix Archive Manager for Files uses advanced file management techniques like retention categories and file access frequency settings to enhance the file access times for end-users. As a result, you can achieve the same file access efficiencies from slower and less expensive file storage systems as you would expect from more expensive and faster file storage systems.

Metalogix Archive Manager for Files can archive files stored on remote servers as well. You can install Metalogix Archive Manager for Files on several machines. These machines can be standalone file servers or part of a cluster that uses the Hierarchical Storage Manager (HSM) server to manage file storage systems. These remote servers can be administered from a single client using the Archive Manager for Files Administration Center (AMAC).
