Best practice - run Collection or Case Folder Source discovery on PSTs

I have a number of PSTs that I need to bring into Clearwell.  They are all within one folder structure, with a root folder, then subfolders for each custodian and their PSTs contained within.  Can I have opinions on the best practice to bring them into Clearwell?

Either:

a) Run a collection task pointing to the share/folder where the PSTs are located;

or

b) Run a Case Folder Source discovery pointing to the share/folder where the PSTs are located.

Thanks!

  • It would have been good to hear other opinions!  Closing this discussion regardless.

  • Best bet is to run a collection task.  I believe the Case Folder discovery looks for some specific metadata files created when you create a case folder.

  • Sorry for the late answer. I dont agree with the first option

     

    I would have added a case folder source under Processing > Sources & Pre-Processing

     

    That way there is no need to do collections or collections sets before processing
