Archive Manager

Archive Manager for Files by Quest Software offers a comprehensive and robust solution for organizations seeking to manage their data lifecycle, reduce storage costs, and ensure compliance. This software, part of a larger suite of archiving tools, focuses on the transparent archiving of files while preserving the existing folder and file structure, which is a major benefit for end-users. The user experience is generally positive, with many reviewers noting its ease of use for day-to-day tasks, such as locating and restoring archived files. The core of its effectiveness lies in features like True Single Instance Storage (SIS), which automatically removes duplicate copies of files, and automatic versioning, which archives new versions of a document when it's edited. This helps to significantly reduce storage consumption and improves data management. The software is designed to be a "set it and forget it" solution, with flexible file archiving methods that can be scheduled based on various criteria like file size, type, age, or user, providing administrators with granular control over their archiving policies.
