Lucid8 launches e-discovery tool for Exchange

Messaging management vendor Lucid8 Wednesday is expected to roll out software that lets IT administrators search for, discover and retrieve individual e-mails, mailboxes and attachments for e-discovery purposes.

DigiScope allows the recovery of e-mails from Microsoft Exchange Server backups or from un-mounted offline information stores. It requires no changes or modifications to Exchange servers or backup processes. Using the software, customers can search for e-mails using specific criteria such as date range or e-mail recipient and export them to a PST or MSG file or to an XML document.

Recovering individual e-mails from Exchange servers traditionally involves a cumbersome process of building an Exchange recovery server or Recovery Storage Group. DigiScope eliminates the need for brick-level backups in which each mailbox is backed up individually.

The software can recover specific mailboxes, folders, messages, contacts and appointments that have been deleted, and move them from a failed server to an alternate server. It can retrieve e-mails that are corrupt and restore accidentally deleted mailboxes. It works with Microsoft Exchange 2000, 2003 or 2007 databases.

Lucid8 also offers DigiVault, a continuous data protection utility for Microsoft Exchange that backs up the Exchange database every time a transaction is made.

DigiScope runs on any Windows XP or better workstation. The software starts at $295 for 25 mailboxes.
