Retrieving data from archive

If you open up the Vault Admin console and then right click Archives and then you can run the PST Export wizard and select the archive you wish to export and then the folder and all its subfolders and where you would like to restore to (to a PST? Original location?) e

So you need to do the following

1. Open up the Vault Admin Console
2. Right click "Archives" container and press "Export"
3. Choose "Export Archives To Their Original Mailbox" and press Next
4. Enter the users display name and press Next
5. Choose your source archive and then press Next
6. Choose "Export All Items From This Root Folder Path"
7. Enter ther Path Name, such as
 - Each folder and Path underneath the root folder would be "\"
 - For Other folders it would be "\Inbox" or "\Calendar" "My Folder\my SubFolder"
8. Choose whether you want to delete the items after they export (not recommended)
9. Choose whether you want to export the subfolders or just that one folder
10. Press Next

You will then see a summary of the actions you wish to perform and then press Next to begin exporting
 

Export Settings:
---------------------------------------
=> The archives listed below will be restored to their original mailboxes.
=> Age filtering of archived items is off
=> Retention Category filtering of archived items is off
=> Only items in '\Inbox\MySubFolder' folder and its subfolders will be exported from archive

DOE, JOHN

Hi, thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately I was not referring to email archiving. I am referring to Enterprise Vault data archiving.

All of our data on the network file server is setup to archive to disk then tape after certain time periods. I would like to retrieve folders from disk and tape in one go, rather than having to select individual files using the Web UI.

Regards

You will want to look at FSAUtil. You can use the FSAUtil to restore the items back and then remove the share as a target and if you don't need it you can remove the FSA Agent (Placeholder service) from the File Server.

See this technote for info about FSAUtil

and this one

FASUtility seems to be what I am looking for.

I will try this.

Thanks for your help guys.

I have now tried to run the FASUtility, but I am having a problem.

The folder I would like to restore resides in the following location:

\\servername\Notebook users\HQ\Username

When I try and run FSAUtility -t -s "\\servername\\Notebook users\HQ\Username I get an error saying

Error: Invalid Volume Notebook users

I am guessing this is because the folder has a space in the name of it, but I would have thought putting " around the UNC path this would work?

Any idea's.

So are you putting it in like this: \\servername\\Notebook users\HQ\Username

or like this: \\servername\Notebook users\HQ\Username?  There seems to be an extra slash in your example.

Sorry Tony, that was a typo. I am typing it as \\servername\Notebook user\HQ\username
