Configure MailStore Server for Backup and Audit Logging

MailStore Server provides a comprehensive solution for managing your email archives and ensuring their integrity. One of its key features is its ability to work seamlessly with external backup software, allowing you to create live backups of your archive. In this section, we will explore how to configure MailStore Server's VSS Writer for enabling live backups and also discuss the options available for storing audit log events.

Enabling Live Backups

To enable live backups of your archive using an external backup software, you need to activate the MailStore VSS Writer. This feature allows third-party backup solutions to utilize Windows' Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to create consistent backups of your data. By enabling this option, you can ensure that your email archives are backed up regularly and safely.

Choosing a Storage Location for Audit Log Events

MailStore Server also provides options for storing audit log events, which allow administrators to monitor and analyze changes made to the archive. You can choose to store audit events in either the Windows Event Log or in the current archive. The former option allows you to access and monitor audit events using third-party tools, while the latter option enables MailStore administrators to search within the audit log using the MailStore Client.

Moving an Existing Archive

If you need to move an existing archive to a new storage location, refer to the instructions in Moving the Archive. This section will guide you through the process of relocating your archive to a new directory, creating a new master database if necessary.

By configuring these settings, you can ensure that your email archives are backed up regularly and safely, while also providing a secure and reliable way to monitor changes made to your archive.
