Archiving strategy

– Keep history on all incoming and outgoing emails
• Choose the strategy before further deploying the Zarafa Archiver

Creating of archiver store
• Every user who will use the Zarafa Archiver need to be coupled to an archive mailbox.
• Multiple users can be coupled to one archive mailbox or every user can get a own archive mailbox
• Create a new non-active user called archive with the zarafa-admin tool

Couple user to archive mailbox
• Couple the user John to the archive mailbox with the zarafa-archiver command
• Please use the --no-folder option when coupling every user to a individual archive mailbox
• By default the user will have read-only permissions on his archive!Please use the -w option to give an user “Owner” permissions on his archive store.

Configure archive steps
• Open /etc/zarafa/archiver.cfg to enable the different archive stages and configure the time setting
• Set the loglevel to 6 for later debugging
• Normally configure the SSL certificates if setup contains multiple server nodes. Not necessary in this lab.

Permissions synchronisation
• By default a user has read-only permissions on his archive mailbox
• With the za-aclsync tool permissions set on the primary mailbox can be synchronised to the archive mailbox

Test permissions sync
• Give mary secretary permissions on the Inbox of John
• Run the za-aclsync tool
• Check in the archive mailbox if the permissions are correctly synchronised

Perform automatic archive runs
• To run the Zarafa-Archiver every night or week, set a cronjob to perform this task

Where to get it?
• The Zarafa-Archiver can be downloaded from the Zarafa Portal only at the moment
