Scale-up by extending the archive into the cloud for off-site, long term, cost-effective storage. Setting policies in "Mirror" mode replicates all data to the cloud for backup and disaster recovery purposes. Setting the policy to "Rotate" mode allows the appliance to scale-up and use the cloud as a secondary tier of storage.

Connect appliances for capacity expansion to scale and grow with your business, without over committing resources.

The Barracuda Message Archiver offers flexible and full-featured mobile applications for Android and iOS devices, allowing users to use their mobile device to search, download, and respond to any email ever sent or received, even if deleted from the server.

Users can forward, reply, or resend email to themselves.

The Barracuda Message Archiver employs Exchange Stubbing to help reduce size of the Exchange Information Store.

One major challenge for IT in typical organizations is lack of visibility and control of users' local message archives in the form of PST files. The Barracuda Message Archiver helps consolidate user PSTs into a single searchable location. PSTs can be uploaded directly into the Barracuda Message Archiver by administrators, end-users, or the automated PST Collector. Barracuda's PST Collector scans the organization's entire network for PST files and assigns the imported PST files to the correct user.

In addition to storage reduction, another reason to archive email is for eDiscovery. The Barracuda Message Archiver offers customizable email retention rules and allows organizations to designate an auditor(s) to apply litigation holds on specific information. Litigation holds preserve the data from being tampered with until the litigation hold expires or is removed.

With Exchange integration, organizations are able to import contacts, calendars and tasks. The Barracuda Message Archiver is also able to import public folders from Microsoft Exchange.
