Archiving Recoverable Items folder

Is it possible to archive the Exchange Recoverable Items folder? Recoverable Items folder has grown huge and we cant delete anything from it. We are using Evault 9.0.2

    Enterprise Vault already has this option

    RecoverTombstoneItems

    Location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

    \Software

    \KVS

    \Enterprise Vault

    \Agents

    Content DWORD

    0 — (Default) Do not archive tombstone objects

    1 — Archive tombstone objects

    Description Controls whether an Archiving Service archives

    tombstone objects.

That being said, if you use virtual vault, it really may not be a good idea
So for instance if i have virtual vault, and i drag a load of items from my inbox in to Virtual Vault and synchronize, then everythings good, however those items that i moved were a copy and a delete, so they are now in the recoverable items /exchange dumpster.

So now EV will go ahead and start archiving tombstoned objects that it already has, creating duplicates
