Will an Amazon Workmail Backup solution ensure 100% protection of all my emails?
Backup tools are typically periodic and designed to restore a system to its last good state after data loss, corruption, or hardware failure. Any email data received and deleted between two backup jobs is likely to be lost forever.
However, enterprise information archiving offers continuous and automatic email data capture, ensuring long-term retention and storage management.
For complete protection, a cloud-based Amazon Workmail archiving solution like Vaultastic can automatically capture 100% of your emails in real time. This data is securely stored in immutable vaults, providing on-demand access whenever needed.
I am using a backup tool for my Amazon Workmail account. Do I still need an email archiving solution?
Yes, you still need an email archiving solution even if you’re using a backup tool. While a backup tool periodically saves your data and allows for complete mailbox restoration, it is not a substitute for archiving. Any emails received and deleted between two backup jobs is likely to be lost forever.

Can I archive data for a select set of users instead of all?
Yes, you can choose to archive emails for a specific set of users rather than all users. This flexibility allows you to tailor your email archiving strategy to meet your organization’s needs. It also allows you to onboard information in a phased manner starting with critical users or departments.
The phased approach is great to optimize costs since Vaultastic is billed on a pay-per-use model, ensuring you are billed only when you consume the services or upload fresh data.
