Archiving directly from Notes to Microsoft Outlook

IBM (Lotus) Notes is an excellent product, but it's inevitable that some users will eventually migrate to other platforms.

As well as archiving to NSF, the IONET Archiver for Notes now also archives directly to PST and common internet formats, allowing you to easily manage your migration to a new platform.

Archiving runs on the Domino Server and exports Notes Mail, Archives, Calendars, Tasks, Contacts and Journals to internet standard formats (*.eml, *.ics, *.vcf etc), then optionally imports to PST, ready for Microsoft Outlook. Full fidelity is provided for attachments, graphics & doclinks, along with comprehensive archiving options.

For example, to tidy up the environment, you could first archive all mail over 2 years old to NSF. You could then archive all other mail over 1 month old to PST, without removing it from Notes Mail. This processes the majority of data without affecting users. Finally, on the day of the cutover, archive all remaining mail to PST. Users then just open their fully populated PSTs in Outlook the following day, without any mail interruption. Alternatively, use more advanced constructors like @Formulas to be extremely specific about what data to remove, what data to archive to NSF, and what data to migrate to PST.

To allow users to migrate their own local mail and archives, please see the IONET NSF Exporter tool instead.

New Export tool for Notes Mail & Archives

IBM (Lotus) Notes is an excellent product, but it's inevitable that some users will eventually migrate to other platforms.

The new IONET NSF Exporter allows users themselves to export local or server-based Notes Mail, Archives, Calendars, Tasks, Contacts and Journals to internet standard formats (*.eml, *.ics, *.vcf etc), then optionally to PST, ready for immediate use in Microsoft Outlook.

For an Administrator-run export via the Domino Server, please see the Archiver for Notes.

For example, after migrating to Exchange, users may still have local Notes Mail archives left on their PCs. The NSF Exporter allows them to migrate those databases to PST, at their convenience, and without requiring Server resources.

The tool requires a Notes Client only, exporting in the background. It can export local or server-based databases, running locally or from a Server.

Full fidelity is assured, including attachments, graphics & doclinks, for Mail, Calendars, Tasks, Contacts & Journals, with a range of options providing full control for the Administrator.

Export Settings



Description
The NSF Exporter allows users to export multiple Notes Databases to internet file formats, then optionally convert those files to PST. The tool can create one PST per NSF, or new PSTs when the existing export PST reaches a specified size.

Users create an export definition for each Notes Database they want to export, specify the export settings they prefer (e.g. skipping documents older than X days, skipping certain attachment types, decrypting documents etc), then just start the export. Administrators control what options users see.

The export process runs in the background of the Notes Client, leaving the Client available for other tasks, and a status of the export is displayed at all times, along with an estimated time to completion.

The user can also stop exporting at any time, restarting at a later time.

At the completion of the export, users can manage the exported files as they want, or simply open the resulting PST files in Outlook.
