ARCHIVING MAIL SERVERS VIA A SIMPLE MAIL TRANSFER PROTOCOL (SMTP) SERVER

Abstract:

Systems and methods for providing data storage operations, such as archiving and/or backing up of data, for mail servers, such as Exchange servers, via a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) interface are described. For example, the systems and methods may provide an SMTP server between one or more Exchange servers and a media agent, which is configured to performing secondary copy operations, in order to quickly and/or efficiently generate archive or other secondary copies of various mailboxes within the mail server before or during the transfer of mail data to the media agent for data storage operations.
