Administrator's Guide - Kerio Software Archive

18.1 ArchivingPath to the archive directoryThe full path to the archive directory (in accordance with conventions of the operatingsystem on which Kerio MailServer is running). By technical reasons, it is necessary tolocate the archiving directory locally (i.e. on the server where Kerio MailServer is running).Warning: UNC path is not allowed as path specification.Archive to remote addressEmail will be re-sent to this remote email address.Archive to local folderCopies of email messages will be stored in local folders, created automatically in thename space #archive (on the disk, it appears in the mail/archive folder in the directorywhere Kerio MailServer is installed) according to a defined format.Interval used for creating...A suitable interval for creating archive folders can be set in this option. The names of thearchive folders reflect the interval settings:2005-Jan — a monthly archive format. The name contains the year and month duringwhich the messages were archived. Every thirty days, a new folder is created (uponreception of the first message after the server’s midnight time).2005-W03 — a weekly archive format. The name includes year and week number. Theweek number count starts on January 1 of the particular year. This implies that the countdoes not necessarily match with the usual calendar week count (if January 1 is includedin the 52nd week, the week counts may collide). Every seven days, a new folder is created(upon reception of the first message after the server’s midnight time).2005-Jan-12 — a daily archive format. The name contains the year, day and month duringwhich the messages were archived. Every day, a new folder is created (upon receptionof the first message after the server’s midnight time).Note: The interval for creating new archiving folders (implied from the name format) isup to the Kerio MailServer administrator. We recommend bearing in mind the numberof messages passing through the MailServer (or the number of local users). A greaternumber of folders containing smaller numbers of messages are faster to access and easierto comprehend.Compress old archive foldersUse this option to compress the archive except for the current folder (the last foldercreated). However, it is not possible to browse through the compressed folders via emailclients.The first compression of the archive folder is performed upon Kerio MailServer’s startup.Each 24 hours since creation of a new folder, a new compression is performed.Local messages (local sender, local recipient)All local messages (messages sent from the local domain) will be archived.205
