Please read the pages on GoBack and rollups before reading this section.

It may be desirable/necessary for your firm to keep each month’s roll up for a number of years. Again it is important to emphasise Legal Backup will always keep the most recent version of a file so long as it is in your backup set. However in the interests of efficiency and economy you may decide that once a file is no longer active you would like to archive it to deeper storage from which speed of access is not as critical. Using our Managed Archiving solution once a new rollup is created instead of the previous month’s rollup being abandoned it is moved to the Legal Backup Archive Server, where it will stay unaltered in perpetuity.

Once a rollup has been archived it is then possible to remove from your backup set (the live folders and files that are being backed up daily) all those files you have determined to be dormant. This can either be done manually or each month as an automated process. Rationalising your backup set in this way will reduce you bandwidth costs and make your online backup facility easier to deal with.

To recover files from a particular month’s archived rollup you simply inform Legal Backup which month you wish to access and we will transfer that month’s roll up back into your online backup set. You will then access this data in the same online manner you do your current backup set.
