Move Archive and Legal Hold
I was looking thru the move archive white paper that you guys posted on here and found a statement that said if a user has a legal hold (from Discovery Accelerator) on their archive, the archive cannot be moved.
What I'm curious about is lets say you have 500 mailbox archives on a Centera and you want to use Move Archive to move them to a Celerra or a NetApp and you have 2 users that have a legal hold on their archives. Is there some kind of work around to get them moved over to the new storage? I can't imagine that you would have to hang on to a Centera that you were trying to move off and have to keep it around because of one archive.
Would you lift the legal hold, move the archive, and then reapply the hold? Would this affect anything in DA? (Not a DA guy here) :)
Thanks for any ideas.
Hi,
Archives which have one or more items on legal hold are not eligible to be added to the Move Archive wizard. I believe that this check is made upfront and the user notified of the reason why the archive cannot be moved. The check involves a query in the Vault Store database of each archive. There is no workaround for this.
Obviously if you remove these legal holds then the archive could be moved from a legal hold perspective but I am no legal eagle so I cannot answer if that should be done from that perspective.
Cheers....Paul.
