New and enhanced features within DocAve 6 SP 3 include:

Compliance & Storage Management
DocAve Archiver (http://www.avepoint.com/sharepoint-archiving-docave/)’s enhanced capabilities not only provide flexible archiving of SharePoint content for true enterprise content lifecycle management, but also strengthen records management initiatives, improve compliance, and reduce your total cost of ownership. DocAve Archiver offloads fixed, end-of-life content from SharePoint’s SQL Server content databases to hierarchical storage media based on fully customizable business rules. By maintaining immutable, read-only copies of archived content, DocAve Archiver enables consistent, automatic disposition of SharePoint records according to established policies.

To complement Backup and Restore, AvePoint now offers SQL Server Data Manager (http://www.avepoint.com/sharepoint-data-management-docave/), a free tool to deliver full fidelity, item-level restore capabilities directly from Microsoft SQL Server backups for fast SharePoint content recovery. Paired with DocAve Backup and Restore (http://www.avepoint.com/sharepoint-backup-and-restore-doc...), organizations have a complete data protection solution with full-fidelity backup and recovery, from individual content items to entire SharePoint environments and all of their farm-level components, maintaining all metadata, security settings, and version histories. DocAve High Availability (http://www.avepoint.com/sharepoint-high-availability-docave/) is a 24/7 fault tolerance solution for SharePoint that enables centralized control of all SharePoint environments from a single interface, offering a one-switch disaster recovery for SharePoint.

Governance
