Moves old files from Network file systems to NAS, SAN or Cloud based archive storage.
You can choose the criteria you want to use like size, type and last accessed\modified dates and you can also choose what sort of links you want to leave behind (if any). The live file system’s directory structure is automatically mirrored to the archive storage as part of the archiving process. This includes all NTFS permissions and atributes.
Once files have been moved, the Maintenance Job comes into play. Amongst other tasks the Maintenance Job keeps the permissions synchronised between the live and archive file systems, as well as returning recently used files back to the live file system.
ArchiverFS lets you automatically archive old files from any UNC path to any UNC path over the network using a range of criteria including age, size and type. The device you use to automatically archive your old files too can be a NAS device, CIFS share, iSCSI volume, a VM or even cloud storage on Amazon AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. As long as the source and target volumes are formatted with NTFS or REFS and are shared to the network with SMB then content can be managed and migrated between them.
At no point does our archiving solution try to store files (or even information about migrated files) in a database or proprietary storage mechanism. This is crucial as it provides massive scalability and makes ArchiverFS so incredibly efficient. The largest file system currently handled by our software so far stands at 3.4 PetaBytes of unstructured data, and this is done using a single Datacenter edition licence installed on a small VM with just 4 vCPUs and 6GB of RAM.
Unique 3 tier storage structure: Including Live, Archived and Graveyard stages. This unique feature enables ArchiverFS to create a true Hierarchical Storage Management system and move your old content for a fraction of the cost of traditional file archiving products.
When a user clicks on a link that was left behind in place of an archived file all of the IO goes straight from the users workstation directly to the file. There are no agents or other components in the way meaning that users don't have to sit around waiting for an item to be returned to the live system before they can access it. Any items that need to be returned back to the live system are returned by the daily maintenance job that runs out of hours. All of the information regarding where each file has been archived too is maintained in the file system itself through the use of directory structures and properties.
Several types of stubs are available to choose from which can be left behind in place of files when they are moved, including completely seamless links that behave exactly like the original item. Both folder and file level shortcuts which are more like traditional Windows shortcuts can also be used, and these offer the advantage of increased compatibility and can even be accessed by Apple Macs using an add-in like 'Win Shortcutter'.
What if you could just restore the items that people actually needed first in the event of a disaster, and worry about the rest later? We will enable you to completely separate the first and second tier storage, thus making this approach possible. What's more, with us you won't need to re-install any agents or client software to get back up and running, thus making recovery in the event of a disaster much faster.

In Europe, GDPR and similar regulations mandate data retention planning. Complying is tough without archiving software, especially for firms with ample unstructured data. Our solution empowers you to set data retention periods for file systems, ensuring compliance and simplicity.
Old data doesn't change much. Yet every time you do a full backup of your systems you will be backing up old static content. With your old files moved to second line storage you can back them up less frequently, thereby saving on backup costs.
