How to export mailbox as one big single PST export ?

Hi people,

Is there any way in Enterprise Vault 8.0 SP4 to do the mailbox export to just one single PST rather than segmented into multiple parts ?

beceause at the moment even if I didn't check the option to limit the size of individual destination PST, it is still exported in 1.4 GB chunks ?

  • Yep .. it was a long standing 'bug', or 'feature' that wasn't really updated with the later revisions of PST file format.  It was eventually addressed in EV 9.0.2 I think.  [It's in the link]

  • Yeah, now I know and have very compelling reason to upgrade into EV 10 myself.

    thanks for the expalnation Rob !

  • If you can go to 10, that's great.  But remember that EV 10 requires Windows 2008 R2 x64 as the OS.  That's often a stumbling block for people on existing, lower, versions of Enterprise Vault.

  • Yes that will be in my agenda this year.

    Hopefully the migration from EV9 into EV10 is seamless and no need to rollback from the backup.

  • Just to point though .. you don't need to go to EV 10 to fix -this- issue ... ie the issue of being able to export to one big, single PST file.

  • Yes, but somehow it would be great to run the latest and the greatest version before it is out of support :-)
