Archive Manager SharePoint Edition Feature Details
Archiving Methods
Archive Manager SharePoint Edition archiving improves MOSS performance by significantly reducing archived file size.
Archived documents are replaced by a link in the MOSS Portal which point to the stored file. This link (HTML shortcut) is held in a database (ORACLE or MS SQL server) and refers to the actual archived documents in the storage medium.
The file itself is directed to a storage media via the integrated HSM (hierarchical storage management). Documents that have been saved several times are centrally archived and duplicates are eliminated. End users are still able to access and edit the document as usual.
When a shared document is opened, edited and archived again, Archive Manager SharePoint Edition archiving recognizes the edits and stores a new version of the document. All versions of an edited document can be accessed within the SharePoint application by authorized users.
Possible SharePoint Archiving Methods:
- Archive files older than n-time
- Compress files larger than n-KB
- Archive immediately when a file is saved
- View maximum versions of a file
- Archive by file type
- Archive when shortcut is created in MOSS portal

Lifecycle Management
A company’s most valuable asset is its data store. Managing the flow of data is work enough but stringent government regulations have changed data retention policies. More information needs to be stored and due to budget demands, storage costs are too expensive.

The frequency of edited or viewed documents will affect the information lifecycle management strategy appointed by Archive Manager SharePoint Edition to files and documents. Once a document outlives its everyday usage, it’s moved to inexpensive nearline or off-line media.
Archive Manager SharePoint Edition information lifecycle management shifts files onto different media, copies documents in different formats, and deletes them after set retention times. Integrated e-discovery compliance ensures that a document is safeguarded and cannot be permanently removed from the archive until the retention time has ended.
