Exchange Data Archive Tools


There are HSM/Exchange archive tools available from at least 3 vendors: Veritas, CommVault, & C2C.
Rumors from others who've tested them are:
- CommVault product is better from the administrators perspective - more flexible scheduling of jobs and ability to delegate more granular permissions to the point a helpdesk role could be allowed to restore an Exchange item.
- Veritas exchange storage manager - has more cleaner client integration, not as flexible admin
- C2C Archive1 is much simpler and uses an Exchange Public Folder store on a separate server. And archival jobs are separate from backups.
Veritas has a free Exchange storage evaluation tool:
