London, UK, 11 December 2008 – GFI, a leading provider of email and security software, is releasing today a white paper that examines two types of archiving technology in use and explains why IT administrators should consider the journaling feature in Exchange Server and not rely on stub files to archive email.

Email’s importance as a means of communication and as a record of corporate business has led to a marked increase in the take-up of email archiving solutions. Apart from the benefits for IT administrators by way of reduced storage and PST problems, companies are using archiving solutions to comply with industry and national regulations on the retention of email correspondence as well as to have easy access to old and deleted emails. There are a number of archiving technologies in use today and solutions that integrate with Microsoft Exchange Server and the Outlook client predominantly use stub files to archive their emails. This white paper explains what email archiving options are available to IT administrators and why a non-stub file approach is beneficial.
