"Simplicity was the key to using NearPoint for recovery. Ranging from a full database recovery to a mailbox restore, I found that NearPoint was very simple to use and the performance was impressive."
— Tom Pacek, AVP of Technology, Virtua Health
With first-generation archiving solutions, recovery is a time-consuming nightmare for IT. Such recovery requires the restoration of the last full back-up tape (usually performed over the weekend), plus, restoration and reconciliation with any incremental back-ups (usually run each weeknight). In many cases, if an Exchange server fails, it could take anywhere from 8-24 hours to restore the data – that's simply too long for a mission-critical application like email.
With NearPoint's™ integrated recovery, customers reduce calls to the IT help desk in the event users lose email because self-service recovery is enabled. Business users are empowered by the NearPoint Self-Service Access™, enabling fingertip access to individual messages across time, resulting in improved productivity and higher quality of decision making. The Mimosa Self-Service recovery capability, enabled by the administrator, is intuitive and offers easy access to accidentally deleted and old messages, and previous versions of files. Mimosa NearPoint is seamlessly integrated into Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Web Access (OWA). End-users click on the “Mimosa Archive” folder from within Outlook or OWA and have instant access to all of their mailbox data. Message headers, bodies and attachments are full-text indexed to enable powerful and fast searches across vast amounts of email data.

Because NearPoint offers integrated recovery, customers are able to improve Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) by reducing the total time to restore and recover a failed Exchange database to less than 1 hour. At the same time, it is possible to minimize Recovery Point Objectives (RPO). Instead of being able to recover only to the point of the last back-up, NearPoint's continuous data protection offers more frequent protection cycles.
In the event that a whole site goes down due to a disaster, NearPoint offers the Disaster Recovery application. With this, NearPoint provides complete disaster recovery of Exchange to the primary Exchange Server using the base NearPoint product or to a stand-by Exchange Server. Administrators enjoy the speed of recovering an entire Exchange database at disk-to-disk speeds with simple “point--and-click” operations.
