    Hi Sortid,

    That is slightly incorrect, the setting work as follows:

    PST Migrator Task – Number of PST’s to migrate concurrently : 10
    This is the amount of PST files that Enterprise Vault will migrate at the same time, irrelevant of the user

    If the user shuts down his pc then they would start from scratch when they come back, there is no resume

    This is the exact reason QUADROtech introduced a proper PST Migration application. For further information please take a look at:

Hello

Slight correction to above post, since you're doing client driven migration, the migration will resume from the chunk it was last migrating once machine is back on OR outlook is back on.

Client driven migration process does chunk by chunk basis migration each chunk sizing 10MB. Once 1 chunk finishes, next 10MB is copied to EV server holding location and migrated. Between this cycle if user closed his Outlook or workstation at suppose 10th chunk (100MB), when he/she starts it back up, it will be able to determine where it left and start from 11th chunk accordingly (Theoritically atleast)

Note - Client driven migration is done using Outlook EV add-in so Outlook should be kept running along with workstation accordingly.
