DocAve Extension Archiver for SharePoint
Extend the Value and Performance of SharePoint While Optimizing Storage Resources
DocAve 5.0 for MOSS 2007 and WSS v3!
DocAve Extension Archiver is the industry’s first truly seamless, business-rule aware, item-level archiving solution for SharePoint with full content index and search support.
With data volumes increasing rapidly, companies can quickly run out of valuable SQL server space. When it is time to expand your production environment, consider implementing the DocAve Extension Archiver instead of deploying additional SQL servers. Your company can save thousands just in license fees, and end-users can seamlessly search and view the archived content and fully access it from within an active SharePoint site.
Business Advantages
Key Advantages of the Extension Archiver
Archive an Entire Site with a Single Click 
Effortlessly offload entire SharePoint sites as well as their child nodes to more cost-effective storage media, while maintaining the same level of accessibility. This helps organizations effectively manage site proliferation, improve server performance, and reduce storage costs.
Free up SQL Storage Space to Reduce Cost
The Archiver allows you to dramatically reduce costs by reducing the number of SQL servers you need as your data expands. You can easily archive SharePoint data from production SQL servers in any local or network drive.
Improve SharePoint Performance
The expansion of data tremendously affects back-end SharePoint storage not only from a cost standpoint, but also from a management perspective. Improve performance of the most commonly used data by archiving older data (example: older files and older versions). The Archiver will help free end-users of quota limitations, and provide unmatched manageability and scalability.
No impact on End-User Access to Archived SharePoint Data
Archived data can always be accessed by end-users via a stub (redirect URL) on its “old” SharePoint location. It can be searched for via native SharePoint search, viewed, and, if any modifications are necessary, restored to its original location. Leveraging the Remote BLOB Storage API, the storage outside the SQL server is practically transparent to the end-user. No special skills or end-user permission to the DocAve Archiver is required, because it operates within the active SharePoint environment.
Secure Environment for Upholding Privacy and Confidentiality
Robust 128-bit data encryption (included for optional configuration), enterprise-strength compression, online patch and license management, secure password-protected access to the interface with different roles and permissions for administrator accounts ensure complete data integrity.

Extension Archiver Technical Overview
in DocAve 5.0 for MOSS 2007 and WSS v3:
- DocAve Extension Archiver supports independent or mixed SharePoint environments for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007, Windows SharePoint Services v.2.0 / v.3.0 and SharePoint Portal Server 2003.
- Out-of-the-box Web Part provides archive data browse, search, and restore capabilities, providing end users with a familiar interface to retrieve archived documents.
- Archive anything from entire top-level sites to specific documents or document versions.
- Preview SharePoint objects covered by archiving rules, and perform test runs before executing an archive process.
- Archive SharePoint content to the local or network drive or to anything that resembles a file system; does not require storage to expensive SQL space.
- When an item is archived, a stub remains in SharePoint, allowing the content to be indexed and searched by end-users.
- End-users can view archived items without having to un-archive the item back to the production environment.
- Flexible permissions allows administrators to prevent end-users from restoring data. To modify an item, it must be un-archived. Permission limits each end-user to un-archive only their items (they can contact an administrator to un-archive for them).

- Full-fidelity item-level restore (un-archive), with full text keyword and identification criteria mask search.
- Archives and restores all lists, libraries and items, including Events, Links, Tasks, Contacts, Announcements, Discussion Boards, Surveys, Issues, Custom Lists, Areas, Sub Areas, Portal Links, Layout Templates, and Security Meta Data.
- Fast, 60GB per hour per plan archiving restores data directly to the live environment without the need to restore to a transitory media first.
- Granular error and archiving process reporting to customized administrator groups.
- Robust 128-bit data encryption, enterprise-strength data compression, and multi-language support enables global deployment of Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies.
