Most Common FAQs

Yes, archiving helps free up storage on your primary devices, apps, and systems by creating a copy of your data in a separate storage location. Once archiving is enabled, you can safely remove or reduce the data stored in your primary systems, optimizing their performance. 

While solutions like Vaultastic are designed with storage optimization methods, the archived data still consumes storage space—albeit in a more cost-efficient manner. As a result, while you reclaim valuable space on your primary storage, you do utilize optimized storage on the archival platform. 

Despite this, archiving remains a crucial component of any effective data management strategy, helping mitigate data-related risks and enhancing productivity through better data organization and security.

Even with seemingly sufficient storage in basic Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 plans, your organization remains at significant risk due to the lack of built-in data protection features. In these plans, users typically have full control over their mailboxes and drives, including the ability to delete or move emails and files. This leaves you uncertain whether all sent and received emails and user-created files are still intact or accessible, which can be critical during audits or compliance reviews.

Even if your company isn’t bound by industry regulations, archiving your digital data is highly beneficial.

In today’s digital age, businesses of all sizes rely on a variety of digital tools for communication and collaboration. This includes emails, files, chat conversations, and data from various SaaS tools. While industry regulations may not mandate archiving, it’s crucial to have a robust data management strategy in place.

Here’s why archiving is important, even for unregulated industries:

  • Data Loss Prevention: Accidental deletion, hardware failures, or cyberattacks can lead to significant data loss. A centralized archive acts as a safety net, ensuring your critical data is protected and recoverable.
  • Legal and Compliance: Even if you’re not subject to strict industry regulations, you may still face legal and compliance obligations, such as responding to litigation or government inquiries. A well-organized archive can help you quickly locate and produce relevant information.
  • Business Continuity: In the event of a disaster or disruption, a reliable archive can help you restore business operations and maintain continuity.
  • Risk Mitigation: By archiving your data, you can reduce the risk of data breaches, unauthorized access, and insider threats.
  • Enhanced Search and Discovery: A centralized archive enables efficient search and discovery of information across various data types, streamlining internal investigations and external audits.

Vaultastic’s comprehensive archiving solution can help you protect and preserve your valuable digital assets, regardless of industry or regulatory requirements. By archiving emails, files, chat conversations, and data from SaaS tools, you can ensure that your critical information is always accessible, searchable, and secure.

The healthcare industry faces a growing number of email-borne threats that put sensitive data at risk. Emails often serve as entry points for ransomware, phishing attacks, malware, viruses, and other malicious payloads targeting healthcare providers. 

The rise of distributed working environments has further complicated efforts to protect data, making it easier for hackers to exploit vulnerabilities. These threats not only jeopardize the confidentiality and integrity of patient information but also expose healthcare organizations to regulatory non-compliance, financial loss, and reputational damage.

Archiving plays a crucial role in preserving and securely storing historical data, documents, or records that are no longer actively used but must be retained for legal, regulatory, or business purposes. By moving static data to a dedicated archive, organizations can free up valuable space in their primary storage systems, optimizing performance and ensuring active systems run more efficiently.

Archiving helps maintain the integrity and accessibility of important information, making it readily available for audits, legal inquiries, or historical reference when needed. It also improves data management and organization by keeping less frequently accessed information separate from day-to-day operations, reducing clutter and simplifying retrieval.

In addition to improving performance, archiving reduces the risk of data loss by providing a secure, tamper-proof environment for long-term retention. This extra layer of protection ensures critical information is safeguarded against unauthorized access, accidental deletion, or security breaches. By streamlining data management processes and enhancing system performance, archiving supports a more efficient and resilient approach to information handling.
