MXSave
MXSave provides cloud email disaster recovery for organizations whose mail servers become unavailable.
What MXSave is
MXSave provides cloud email disaster recovery for organizations whose mail servers become unavailable. When a sending server cannot connect to the primary server, failover starts automatically. During an outage, users can receive, reply to, forward, and compose messages through the web client or POP3/IMAP clients. Inbound and outbound messages captured during the outage are sent to the mail server after it returns. The service keeps a rolling archive of the previous 30 days, with continuous backup and granular restore. Its Enterprise Email Disaster Recovery plan costs $49 a month, billed monthly, for one domain and 25 users; extra users cost $1.00 per user/month. Messages and storage are unlimited, with spooling for up to 21 days. MXSave supports Microsoft Exchange Server, Office 365, and hosted or on-premise servers. Attachments over 35 MB are not accepted. Daily LDAP synchronization updates mailboxes, groups, and aliases, but not passwords.
