    Hi Ronnen,

    If you using robocopy, there is a known issue when collections and migration are enabled and robocopy is used to copy the Vault Stores to another location. By default, Windows reset the creation date and Enterprise Vault uses that date to migrate collections to a secondary storage. The best approach is to be aware of this before copying a partition, and to copy it using software that preserves the Date Created property of the folders. One way to do this is to use Robocopy with the /DCOPY:T option.

    Ronen,

    I would suggest that a backup and restore of the partition would be a better option.  There should already be regular backups of the partition per best practices.
