Merging Journal vault stores

Hi,

Although this topic is dated, I do have an additional question.

We're facing a same situation:
- Original: Enterprise Vault running in Windows AD Forest A: mailbox archiving and Journaling (EV V7.*)
- New: Enterprise Vault (V8) running in Windows AD Forest B: mailbox archiving and Journaling (EV V8)
 
The migration of the mailbox archives seems pretty straightforward (although using the .PST files will require some good planning), and originally we planned to leave the Journal in Forest A (have it phased out after the last items was removed from the archive); however, the complete Forest will be decommissioned shortly after migrating the users, so we need to migrate the Journal Archives also.

- You mentioned: 'Import into the Journal Archive'. What steps would that involve?
- You also mentioned: 'Shared archive before the Journal archive'. I'm not sure if I understand how, but also what you try to achieve here?
- Is such migration something that has been done before (I didn’t get a good feeling from the Forum on this)?

Thanks. Simon
