Transport AC (Auxiliary Cache) keeps a regularly updated, verified and encrypted copy of your iManage documents, metadata and security in a repository you host, with keys you control, ready for backup, reporting, integration and emergency access.
Moving to iManage Cloud raises questions the platform alone does not answer. Where is our independent copy? How do we report across all our content when our reporting tools cannot run against the cloud? How do other systems reach it? What do we fall back on if iManage cannot be reached? Ad hoc exports are not an answer at firm scale.
iManage Cloud and iManage Work on premises as the source. The cache is hosted on premises, on your infrastructure.
Does Transport AC replace iManage's own backups?
It gives you an independent copy that you hold, refreshed daily and verified weekly, which is what audit and risk teams ask for.
Does it affect iManage performance?
Updates run as a scheduled task and are incremental after the initial load. Reporting runs against the cache, not against iManage.
What can we report on?
Profile metadata, security, custom fields, users and groups, workspaces and folders, plus the documents themselves.
