Exporting Messages
Messages found to be in violation of organizational policy often need to be gathered together for easy presentation. Once a search has located
the messages you want to export, the Barracuda Message Archiver can export either a file containing versions of the selected.zip .eml
messages, or a file. Additionally, in firmware release 3.5 and higher, you can select to download to a Copy account. For details, go to the .pst BA
page in the web interface, and click the button.SIC > Search Help
Alias Unification
Each user typically has only one account on the email server, but may have multiple email addresses (usually variations on their initials and
names) that they also receive. These are resolved by the email server using protocols such as LDAP so that messages addressed to analiases
alias are actually delivered to the appropriate email account.
The Barracuda Message Archiver unifies the primary account with all of its known aliases so that a user has archive access to all messages
received by that user regardless of the "Send To" address on the message.
Archived Data Backup
The Message Store of the Barracuda Message Archiver should be backed up just as you would back up your data on any other data storage
device. For details, refer to the following articles based on your firmware version:

Attachment parsing limits apply only to those areas within an attachment that are searchable. For example, a 10MB attachment
generally contains elements that are not parsable text, for example, graphics, file metadata, formatting, etc. Such attachments may
ultimately contain only 100KB of parsable text and will be indexed in their entirety by all Barracuda Message Archiver models.
Example
If you have a model 450 (512k attachment parsing limit), and someone sends you an extremely large PowerPoint presentation
containing 5 lines of text per slide and numerous graphics and animations, you can estimate that each slide takes up approximately ¼
page of text. In this example, the Barracuda Message Archiver parses and indexes the text content of a 1000-slide PowerPoint
presentation.
Note that the entire presentation is always stored, and if the presentation exceeds 1000 slides, you can search and match content from
the first 1000 slides within that presentation. This is true whether you are journaling all content or if you are simply stubbing
attachments.
