By default, 14-day nightly backups of email messages are bundled with our email hosting services. Daily snapshot backups are stored in a top tier cloud storage system where restorations from the past 14 days can be obtained directly from the control panel.

Existing Problems
1) Backup does not cover messages which have been downloaded via email clients, in the event the email client does not leave a copy of messages in the server.
2) Messages sent through the email clients will not appear in the Webmail, thus will not be included in the backup.
3) Deleted messages in the Webmail will not be included in the backup in the event the users ‘Purge’ the Trash folder.
4) Backup covers only 14 days. It is not a complete archiving solution.
Available Email Archiving Options
1) Email Archiving
A full-fledge email archiving solution that comes with admin console. Securely store, search and retrieve archived messages in seconds.


2) Bcc Archiving
A basic email backup solution that stores messages in a specific mailbox.
