Hi All,
My current Symantec Enterprise Vault server, usage from: http://<EV-Server-Name>/enterpriseVault/usage.asp is as follows:
Enterprise Vault - Vault Store Usage Information:
Total number of Vault Stores | : 1 |
Total number of Active Archives | : 1,984 |
Total number of items | : 89,632,013 |
Total size of items | : 18,391,974 MB |
Average size of items | : 266 KB |
Total number of items awaiting backup | : 9,236,566 |
My questions are:
Note: I'm running Enterprise Vault Version: 11.0.1.3683 and the SQL Server is on separate server.
Thanks in advance,
J

There is an explanation of the meaning of the report here: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH35741
I would say one thing about the size. EV has two sizes compressed, and original size. I'm not sure which of those two it's showing. However, PST files are notoriously 'bloaty' of data. So, if the figure in the report is the original size, you are likely to need almost TWICE that when it comes to PST files.

Yes, you need one Vaultstore open.
Open means physical data can be written to that machine.
If data cannot be written they queue up.
But "awaitiing backups" tells you that the trigger file wasn't created for a longer time.
Check backup and triggerfile "created date"

@Rob_Wilcox1, thanks for the reply,
Is it because the item displayed in the Usage.ASP is the deduplicated and compressed size ?

I don't remember whether the usage report shows compressed size or original size.
EVEN if it shows the original size, then, PSTs will still likely be (roughly) twice that size. It's the nature of PSTs.

Thanks for the clarification @Rob_Wilcox1 I will prepare the largest USB removable HDD possible on the market that I can found and then stage the export process by name or size if it is possible.

Hi,
are you assure that you have 9 mio Items that need to be backed up to be archived?
Are you using the archive bit trigger?
You might want to check the savesets to make the awaiting items process. Unless you are planning somthing else.

@CConsult Yes, that's true I have that many items awaiting backup.
Yes, I'm using Trigger file, check every 60 minutes.
I've found out that there is no open VaultStore, is that the case why it is that big ?
