Restore email from Day archive without SQL/EAS

[r0bsk1]

Due to a really bad timing of a hardware failure we've lost access to data contained within a day archive.
Is there any way of accessing a day archive in order to restore the emails?

[Bagot, Janet]

There is an option in EAS (hidden) to recover messages from day container file back into a mailbox

What are people doing now that EAS is going end of life. Are most people going to ACA or HPca?

[Robert Haines]

Its taken a while but I've developed and implemented my own migration process which puts the email into pst and maintains the folder structure. That can then be imported in to what ever you want.

Our ex EAS customers are going to a variety of platforms but I would say the majority are going to either other archive vendors or Exchange 2010.

 

Migrations using 3^rd party tools such as TransVault can make the transition as painless as possible

HPCA has an automated migration tool but the configuration is very different if you want High Availability or DR capabilities. 

[Wiener, Jon]

Do you have any issues with corruption when extracting data from EAS native archive format to PSTs?

If so, how do you handle it?

[Rick Keefer]

I have done a couple of full exports and corruption issues were not an issue.   Significantly less than %0.001 and all objects were confirmed corrupt in the document store.  I did have one client use Unix storage for a Windows server...  That had significantly more issues than anything else I have ever seen...

[Bagot, Janet]

This depends on status of EAS environment and how we extract messages. With EAS Direct extraction we can get round some issues (such as EAS DB having missing rows) but obviously we can’t get round missing day container files or corrupted messages.

 

If the EAS DB and stores are sound then there should be not issue extracting to PST files

[Todd Booher]

The sad thing about ACA (HPCA) is that even though HP sells it as a replacement for EAS, it's really a compliance tool and

was not developed as an actual replacement for EAS.  It will work but you will end up sacrificing a lot of functionality.  The other

issue is migrating your data is SLOW if you want to preserve the folder structure so plan on a long migration.  It's also interesting

that HP initially did not support stubs on HPCA but now do.  It appears they are now trying to appease some EAS customers by

making it more 'EAS-like'.
