Harry Horning, CB&I, the Netherlands
"CB&I The Hague has evaluated Symantec enterprise Vault and EMC Mail extender. The Symantec system has been setup at CB&I for testing purpose. Ultimately, the choice went for the Lialis Lotus Notes email archiving solution. For the following reasons;

• The price is significantly lower
• The implementation is fully reversible, this is also the case for archived email databases.
• The implementation period is much shorter and CB&I personnel can perform this task independently
• Symantec Enterprise Vault cannot archive mail files that have no person document in the name and address book. Customers with mail-in databases for projects, mostly use mail-in documents because then they do not have to pay IBM licenses. Mail-in databases cannot be filed with Symantec EV"

Edwin de Priester, Iv-Groep B.V., the Netherlands

"To address its data storage issues, Iv-Groep BV implemented an e-mail archiving solution from IBM Business Partner IONET. The new IONET system archives e-mail from the existing Lotus environment based on the company’s demands. Once configured, the e-mail archive process runs automatically. The company can determine which e-mail messages are archived based on predetermined requirements, for example the age of messages.

Company employees can access archived e-mail messages as easily as before, and e-mail messages remain visible in employee mail file folders, because the archive database is connected to the mail file folders. Archived e-mail can be accessed via the Lotus Domino Message Server software, which hosts the IONET archive solution. The archive solution also offers Iv-Groep BV special search functionality that searches both archived and not archived e-mail messages, meaning that users are not impacted if a message is archived. The solution can be used for both personal and general e-mail databases.

As a result, Iv-Groep BV increased control over data growth in its Lotus environment, improving server performance and reducing backup times. The cost-effective, easy-to-manage solution allows the company to restrict when and how messages are archived, while also providing employees with easy access to archived messages. Furthermore, the solution was quick and easy to install."

John van Loon, RijkZwaan, the Netherlands

"We have used the IONET archive solution because our production servers were at capacity, and installing a dedicated archive server & using the IONET Archiver provided us with a lower total cost than expanding our production servers. Another important factor is the native Domino aspect - this gives us more flexibility in installation and configuration and is a process we are familiar with. Also, it helps that we only need to add design elements to production databases, not change or delete anything. Lastly, the flexibility of the tool allows us to choose our own path as to how we archive data."

Walter Pidwarko, Lotus Notes Administrator, Hastings Deering (Australia) Ltd.

"The IONET Archiver for Notes/Domino product has allowed us to create a hierarchy for email data. i.e. Online, (mail server), near-online, (Archive Server), and off line, CD/DVD storage. It also allows us to archive documents in our application databases, without having to do any design changes to the database templates. We have found the support from IONET to be second to none, and have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone."

Rob Buurman ( ASICS Europe BV )

IOnet archiving offers one solution for several issues : mail journaling, mail archiving and archiving of Notes databases. Although all of this can be done by Domino itself, IONet offers an easy to use tool for a very fair price. Combined with DAOS it really reduces the amount of data on my mail cluster ( Archive-server is a separate server ). No need to bother users to clean up their mailbox or database, users can be send a mail to migrate their local archive to the archive server and users are still able to see their archived mail (stub) in their mailbox. This works with iNotes as well. The only point of attention is the ACL of the databases and mail encryption. The support of IOnet/Lialis is good.

Folder Restore Tool

Rating: 5 stars
Reviewer: Jeff Hollis
Company: Omron STI Machine Services

After loosing all my project folders in Lotus Notes, which was about 3 years worth of folders & emails the only solution my IT department had for me was to supply me with a backup database to retrieve my folders from. As I later found out this was not going to be and easy task because Lotus Notes will not let you copy folder structures from one database to another, only the emails can be copied from one database to another. My IT department’s solution for this was for me to manually recreate each missing folder in my current mail database then copy the emails from the backup database to each new folder I created in my current mail database. This would have been an over whelming task and probably would have taken me another 3 years to complete this task LOL because I was missing approximately 1,200 folders and about 950 emails. But thanks to the Folder Restore Tool by Lialis I was able to copy the folders locally from my backup database to my current database and it only
took approximately 30 minutes to restore this large amount of data. Lialis technical support was second to none, They understood how important this information was to me and they definitely stood behind there product
and helped me without any hesitation every step of the way to ensure that I was able to restore all my folders & associated emails to my current email database.

I would highly Recommend Lialis and their full line of solutions to anyone.  

Ike Aig ( Unitiv's Intelligent Help Desk ): A must have tool!

Definitely a tool to have in your arsenal as a Lotus Notes Developer/Adminstrator. One less thing to worry about in my environment where the average user mail inbox comprises a structure of nested folders with dozens of documents within. Now I don't have to worry about restoring databases from a backup or an end user having to recreate an entire document folder structure from memory.
