Here’s another “in the trenches” story from S2|DATA! Here’s how they handled a case dealing with legacy email migration in litigation!
As discussed here, a global energy company embroiled in litigation while restructuring required creation of multiple user mailboxes from an unsupported EMC SourceOne mail NDMP dump. The original environment’s storage infrastructure was inaccessible, and the volume of requested user mailboxes overwhelmed the existing system’s I/O capabilities (100+). S2|DATA was engaged to address this legacy email migration using its proprietary TRACS and QuickCull platforms and expertise in handling legacy data backup formats.
The Challenge
There were a number of challenges with this environment, including:
- Unsupported SourceOne Environment: The infrastructure was no longer under active support, complicating direct access to required data
- Backup Tape Format Complexity: Secondary backup tapes containing NDMP NAS filer dumps from a Networker system were the only available data source
- Large-Scale Mailbox Creation: Hundreds of user mailboxes needed restoration requiring robust processes to ensure accuracy, timeliness, and cost-efficiency
- Filtering for Litigation: The restored data needed to comply with legal requirements, including deduplication and responsive data filtering.
