Druva inSync incorporates key features to deliver unmatched performance while backing up email files.
Within an enterprise over 90% of emails or attachment are duplicated across users. The inSync client saves only a single copy of emails/attachments duplicated across users saving backup time bandwidth and usage.
The inSync client uses Windows Volume Shadow Copy service and Microsoft Message API (MAPI) to take a snapshot and non-intrusively backup of open files. The snapshot also ensures that the backup (and restore) is 100% consistent. Open file backup ensures that the user's work is not affected while the backup is being performed.
Druva inSync client automatically scans Outlook for new message and updates, and only moves the incremental and unique changes to the backup server. Data deduplication ensures that the data movement is minimal.
For example, if an email with 1 MB attachment is sent to 1000 users.
Traditional incremental backup software would backup this 1 MB attachment from each of the 1000 different mail boxes.
Druva inSync would backup 1 MB from the first user, and then skip all the other 999 copies as duplicates.
This saves over 99.9% backup time, bandwidth and storage.
