Provides fully featured file archiving without using a database
Archive Manager is a one of a kind file archiving tools for files stored in network shares, there really is nothing else like it.
If you haven't seen Archive Manager before then your in for a treat. Archive Manager provides fully featured file archiving without using a database. All it needs is an empty share on your network. Almost infinitely scalable, blisteringly fast, totally reliable and extremely cost effective to deploy.
Almost all other file archiving and HSM solutions try to cram files into a database like Microsoft SQL server. While modern databases can cope with this they were not designed for it. In theory this can lead to performance problems, reliability issues and it will almost certainly lead to security problems.
Take the security issues for example. NTFS permissions are rarely, if ever preserved when software solutions moves files into a database. Database centred products normally work on groups of users having rights to see groups of files. You lose the granular control you will have set up with your NTFS permissions. This can lead to users being able to see files that they shouldn't if a solution is miss configured.
Archive Manager is different because it doesn't use any kind of database to store files in, ever. Instead it uses an empty share that you create on your network. The share can be anywhere you choose, thus giving you a great degree of flexibility.
Because of this Archive Manager is incredibly reliable, blisteringly fast (at both archiving and retrieval) and it is highly cost effective to deploy.
Here are some key features of "Archive Manager":
· Flexible archiving options let you get to grips with your files the way that you want to. You can remove files from your file system that have not been used in the period of time you specify, using either the last modified or last accessed date.
· You can choose to either A) Just remove old files, back them up, then delete them or B) Move old files to an 'archive' (any shared empty folder on your network) and leave links behind in case users want accessed an archived file.
· Capable of handling everything from small branch office file systems, to the Pet Byte sized storage environments in the largest of data center.
· No database is ever used to store files in (or even pointers to files). The only database that is used by Archive Manager is the tiny configuration and job scheduling one which will run happily on any SQL2000 (or higher) instance, including the completely free SQL Express 2005.
· No software or filter drivers to install on your workstations. Archive Manager is a truely clientless solution.
· Unique 'Graveyard' job to end of life archived files, with the ability to group graveyarded files into correctly sized chunks ready to be written to removable media.
· Extreme reliability achieved by a simple and straight forward architecture.
Requirements:
· SQL Express (internet connection required)
· .NET Framework 2.0
Limitations:
· Can schedule up to two jobs (which can even run at the same time) and you can archive the content from the server it is installed on to a dedicated share anywhere on your LAN.
· Has a limit of 100 files processed (archived) per run.

· Numerous tweaks and additional features
