    Hello PD

    Exporting an archive to PST should be in the Administrator Guide of Enterprise Vault (usually c:\program files\enterprise vault\documentation), or can be found here:

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH140744
     

    Mailbox migration is done via Ex2010. look for docs from ms.

    See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee633491.aspx

    and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876952.aspx as starting point

    in the ev7 environment, on the ev-server, open IE, goto localhost/enterprisevault/usage.asp

    That will show you the amount of archives, data etc. It might be possible to export the archives back into the mailboxes in Ex2003, then move the mailboxes. EV10 will then archive the mailboxes from the new environment. Ingestion rate of pst's is about the same as archiving, but if you have time (weekend...) you can get good speeds.

Hi Gertjan,

Thank you for the prompt response. This migration that i am planning for does not have an option to upgrade Enterprise Vault.

I already have two datacenters ready with the target environment of Exchange 2010 and EV 10 already installed and the source datacenter with EV7.

I guess i will have to go with the option of PST Migration or Mailbox Migration itself. Would you be able to provide me the link to the documentation of this process ? Also, what is the normal throughput (time taken) for the data to be imported to the new EV10.?

Regards,

PD
