Email and IM have both revolutionized and imprisoned the business world. Email is now the most prevalent form of business communication, accounting for 65% of all correspondence. Email volumes and average message size grow by 42% and 22% per year, respectively. Email, together with IM, are simple to create, handy to use, and easy to send. However, by relying solely on today's backup procedures (or worse, no procedures), data and financial loss are inevitable.

Conventional tape backups are not a substitute for message archiving:

1. It is expensive and time-consuming to recover data from a tape backup
2. Email that was accidentally or intentionally deleted will be unrecoverable within a week and IM disappears
3. In the event of a hard drive crash, you will lose all messages created or received after your last backup
4. Future upgrades of your tape hardware may make restoring data from old tapes unfeasible

Simply put, even by performing daily tape backups on a weekly tape rotation, your critical data is at risk!

With reliance on email and IM as your primary business communication tools, can you afford to lose your records? Even the most sophisticated companies have had system crashes resulting in massive data loss. At the same time, the costs, effort and technology demanded by storing and managing this wealth of information are often staggering.
