Additional EV Archiving Server
Hello Folks,
I have installed a new EV server to hold some of the 'Mailbox Archiving Tasks' from the existing EV server.
And i want to use the existing VaultStore to be used and maybe same or different partition.
The problem here is that i can't use the Storage/Index service of the new EV server, is there any way we can setup 2 EV archiving server to use same VaultStore with their own index located locally?
If its not possible to achieve what i am looking for then if i just delete few archiving task from old server and create them on the new EV server would that make any difference in the performance?
Basically we are enabling Quota+Age based archiving and have plenty of backlog which has not yet been archived so the idea was to introduce a new EV server move some tasks and increase the archiving window with more items to be processed per schedule.

As I have said previously, having one EV Storage service doing the work will be your bottleneck.
You options as I see it, you could target larger mailboxes with run nows to get them down quicker. You could also let EV run on the weekend for longer a period of time to get the mailboxes archived.
Archive Shuttle from GlassHouse is able to move archives and could help you reorganize and balance your EV environment. www.evtools.net
