2:52 pm	Email Backup & Archival Billions of e mail messages are exchanged each day, and the messaging torrent shows no signs of abating. IT administrators these days face the daunting task of figuring out what to do with all those messages. Making matters even more complex is the burden imposed on organizations by regulations plus the threat of litigation. The stakes for effective e-mail and messaging preservation are high indeed, so organizations must determine the most efficient ways to implement e mail backup and archival technologies. Thankfully, administrators can use numerous strategies to succeed in this critical area. Empower End Users IT departments can spend quite a bit of time just searching for old email messages which are backed up or archived. This quest can grow to be a real nightmare when IT personnel need to search via backup tapes or other media. Locating a particular message can truly turn out to be a “needle in a haystack” exercise. Patrick Eitenbichler, director of product marketing for facts management at HP, says IT departments invest a substantial amount of time working on e mail search and discovery tasks from employees. “According to a survey by Osterman Research in 2007, IT departments received an average of 107 end-user requests for e mail search and discovery tasks per year, or about two per week,” he adds. Time spent on recovery, Eitenbichler says, may be considerable if enterprises need to restore individual emails from backup tapes. Thus, enabling end users to locate their own info can relieve the burden on IT personnel significantly. Aseem Asthana, product manager at Barracuda Networks (www.barracudanetworks.com), says administrators need to implement an e-mail archiving solution that allows end users to retrieve emails from within their native email environment (for instance Outlook). This can enhance productivity and decrease the extra work done by the IT group. Understand Regulatory & Legal Requirements Administrators looking to implement an archiving and/or email backup solution must clearly understand the regulatory and legal environment in which they operate. This will drive the features and capabilities of whatever solution is implemented. Tom McCaffrey, director of archiving at Kroll Ontrack (www.krollontrack.com), points out that organizations which are heavily regulated and targeted in litigation face increasingly considerable risks when attempting to optimize and tailor facts management and data storage practices to meet business, legal, and regulatory requirements. For starters, he adds, organizations must make sure their legal hold tool is integrated with an archive so they can maintain control over the data in the archive. Such integration need to include the ability to suspend the retention policy until the matter or investigation is concluded, McCaffrey says. Also, organizations must make sure retention policies and archiving practices account for each and each and every kind of data subject to compliance regulations or e-discovery requests, he adds. Besides e-mail and loose files, organizations must now consider SharePoint, instant messaging, unified messaging, social media, and unified communications as containing discoverable materials. Perform & Test Email Backups An Exchange or e mail server crash can bring organizational productivity to its knees and potentially eliminate email messages that may become important later when a lawsuit looms or an important piece of business intelligence is needed. Backing up e-mail content, including the software for managing and running the electronic mail system, is important. To ensure business-critical facts is managed effectively, organizations ought to conduct data backups regularly, says Jim Reinert, vice president of data recovery and software products at Kroll Ontrack. Also, he adds, organizations need to employ a policy and documented process, including a detailed record of data locations and date ranges, along with predetermined process owners and scheduled media rotations, so they can know exactly what is being backed up and where. Another tip for effectively doing electronic mail backup is simple: Test the backup. Mike Dull, senior recovery manager at Data-chambers (www.datachambers.com), says administrators need to test their backup solution quarterly. Also, they must take notes documenting what went well during a test and what didn’t. If issues that arise during a test cannot be alleviated, administrators should get help immediately. Reinert says double-checking backup solutions periodically can reduce risk and enable administrators to check the timeliness of restores and the completeness of recoveries without the added pressure of a data loss crisis during the process. Not Everything Needs To Be Archived Even though it might seem that the shotgun approach of keeping every single electronic mail is the best way to stay in compliance, the truth of the matter is that a large chunk of email content could be safely deleted. Sean Regan, director of item marketing for Symantec's Details Management Group (www.symantec.com), says organizations ought to not get caught in the trap of believing that everything must be saved or that a perfect policy must be defined before deploying an archiving system. Searching for the perfect policy, Regan adds, can not only slow down an archiving project but also place an organization at risk by potentially having to manage emails subject to legal holds before policies and procedures are in place. Regan recommends that organizations start archiving broadly to enforce retention, deletion, and legal holds. Organizations must set an infinite retention policy initially and then begin to finalize the process of developing corporate policy particulars, he says. Here’s another good reason to understand retention needs: Many e mail archiving companies have hidden limits on the number of messages kept or on the length of time messages are retained, says Megan Wohlford, product manager for Rackspace. She recommends that administrators be aware of the kinds of data users are consuming every single day and be prepared for overage charges. Also, she adds, administrators using a company that charges in this manner must employ a deduplicating strategy to prevent storing multiple copies of the same message.

2:30 pm	Bush White House failed to archive e-mails The Bush administration failed to archive the vast majority of Hosted Email Archiving sent during a 21-day period between 2003 and 2005, according to two watchdog groups that reached a settlement with the government. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and the National Security Archive filed a lawsuit against the White House in 2007 after learning the administration had lost track of millions of e-mail messages that were supposed to be archived under the Presidential Records Act. Last year the Obama administration settled the case by agreeing to audit archived messages and backup tapes for 21 separate days flagged for having suspiciously low e-mail traffic. The backup tapes revealed that 83 percent of e-mail messages from the days in question were not archived. The groups claim those messages would have been lost if not for the lawsuit, and argue the days in question are only the tip of the iceberg. Now they are asking David Ferriero, archivist of the U.S., to examine the rest of the backup tapes to help identify more missing e-mails. "As shocking and disturbing as these results are, they only tell part of the story," writes CREW Chief Counsel Anne Weismann and National Security Archive Director Thomas Blanton in a letter to Ferriero dated May 17. "Indeed, based on our analysis of the data, we believe there remain a large volume of unrestored emails on backup tapes that, absent further action, will be forever lost to history." Weismann said the tapes are now in the possession of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which will release them to President George W. Bush's library for public consumption after a gap of twelve years. "Even the backup tapes didn't catch everything," Weismann said. "We now know there were holes in the system the Bush administration used to preserve e-mails. Pretty big holes, it was pretty poor." She said information currently on the backup tapes is completely inaccessible, which is why she wants Ferriero to restore all of them so the messages can eventually be part of the public record. The Obama administration already restored messages from the tapes for an additional 40 days identified by the two organizations as suspicious. Those messages have been sent to the NARA. Weismann contrasted the Bush administration's approach to preserving electronic communications to the current White House, which she said has better policies in place. "I think they are actively trying to make sure those policies are complied with. And when they get evidence of the problem, they don't ignore it," she said, adding that the Bush administration's technical personnel were aware of the e-mail archiving problem for years and chose not to act. Weismann also commented on the recent reprimand of White House Deputy Chief Technology Officer Andrew McLaughlin, who used his personal e-mail account to communicate with his former Google colleagues about technology issues facing the Obama administration in violation of federal policy. She called the incident "troubling" but said there was "no smoking gun" that McLaughlin intentionally used his personal account to conduct official business. Weismann said she is concerned that the White House is too focused on the technology aspect of transparency and not paying enough attention to document preservation. "There's very few agencies dealing appropriately with electronic records and e-mail," Weismann said. "It's a complicated problem, it tends to make people's eyes glaze over."
