Frequently Asked Questions

What is enterprise information archiving (EIA)?

EIA is software that captures, stores and indexes email, messaging and other business content in a searchable, tamper-resistant archive for retention, regulatory compliance, legal hold and eDiscovery, separate from the live systems that created the content.

What is the difference between an archive and a backup?

A backup is a copy for restoring systems after a failure, while an archive keeps content for long-term retention and search, with retention policies, legal hold and audit trails. Archives are searched by compliance and legal teams, not used to restore servers.

What is eDiscovery and how does archiving support it?

Electronic discovery is the process of identifying, preserving and producing electronic information for legal matters. An archive supports it with indexed search, legal hold and export, so relevant content can be found and preserved without searching live mailboxes.

Which regulations drive information archiving?

Rules such as FINRA Rule 4511 on books and records and the SEC's recordkeeping rules for broker-dealers drive archiving in financial services, and other sectors have their own retention rules. Requirements differ by country and industry, so check with your compliance team.

Do EIA tools archive messaging apps as well as email?

Several vendors describe archiving of messaging, collaboration, social and mobile content as well as email; Jatheon, for example, lists social media, mobile and WhatsApp communications. Supported sources vary, so check each vendor's connector list.

How do I choose EIA software?

Compare supported content sources, retention and legal hold controls, search and supervision features, regulatory certifications, cloud or on-premises deployment, migration support and total cost. Pilot with your own data and rules.
