The go to archiving solution for files stored in network file shares. Initially released back in 2002, it has since proven to be the go-to solution for archiving the contents of congested network file systems to second line storage for many IT departments around the world. It is by far the most cost effective file archiving software for windows servers released in the last 10 years. It works seamlessly with Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2012, 2012 R2 and even Windows Server 2016. Native support for Windows de-duplication, compression and DFS is provided as standard. The most amazing part is the scalability. It is NTFS from start to finish with no files or file metadata stored in a database of any kind. Deployments to file systems with several PetaBytes of data are fairly common. It is also incredibly flexible, it enables you to archive files from any UNC path to any UNC path. It allows the re-use of older file storage as second line archive storage, supports archiving to a NAS device or even archiving to a new share on first tier storage along with the compression of old files to save space. Several different types of stubs can be left behind in place of archived files, and none of them require the deployment of software to your workstations or file servers. Over the years it has become an established product with a significant user base. It is in use with a huge number of companies from multi-billion dollar financial organizations to military contractors, sheriff's departments, health authorities and everything in between in over 40 countries.
