Disaster Recovery Services consists of one of two services:
•
Fail Safe — Fail Safe saves messages for later delivery if your mail server becomes
unavailable. When your mail server becomes available, Fail Safe delivers the
messages. Users cannot access their messages while messages are in Fail Safe only.
Fail Safe has an unlimited amount of storage capacity but removes messages that have
been in Fail Safe storage for more than 5 days.
•
Email Continuity — Email Continuity saves messages for later delivery if your mail
server becomes unavailable. When your mail server becomes available, Email
Continuity delivers the messages. Users can access their messages through a Web-
based interface while messages are in Email Continuity only.
Email Continuity also has unlimited storage capacity and removes messages that have
been in Email Continuity storage for more than 60 days.

Automatic — This option automatically spools all incoming email when Email
Protection detects a loss of connectivity with your email server(s). With this
option, you must also specify how long Email Protection should wait after
connectivity is lost to begin spooling.
Note: Be aware that it may take several minutes to determine that your inbound
server is unavailable. During this time, and during the time delay, received emails
can be tempfailed if your inbound server is unavailable
Manual — This option allows you to start and stop Disaster Recovery spooling
manually for planned email server outages such as server maintenance.
When necessary, you then select Start Spooling to initiate manual spooling; and
select Stop Spooling to stop it.
Note: It may take a few minutes for manual spooling of incoming mail to start and
stop.
