Size of archiving from Exchange 2007

Hello to all, If the size of a file in the servant of Microsoft Exchange occupies 1 Gb and has filed 900 Mb in Vault, why in Exchange 2007 it continues maintaining his only 100 original size of 1Gb and do not show mb? I do report and it marks to me that of that user it has stored 1 Gb. I go to Exchange, I give Properties of that same mailbox and its size has not descended. why? I use Enterprise 8.0.1 Vault and Exchange 2007 sp1 Thanks.

    Are you using safty copies? if so the size will only go down once you backup Enterprise Vault.

    No ... But today I see at EV's Event Viewer the following message:
    "

    The SQL database for Vault Store 'Vault440Gb' has not been backed up for 73 days. The information in this database is at risk until the database has been backed up.

    Review your SQL database backup procedures and make any changes needed to ensure that backups happen in a timely fashion. "

    Thank you. 

     

    Today I will make backup and I will see the result.
    Thank you very much

    You must back up the vault store partition.   What is your storage device for the Vault Store?  NTFS, Centera, NetApp, etc...

    My storage device for the vault store is NTFS ... As I run the backup using Symantec Netbackup? I suppose a normal backup NTFS file ... Right?

    Thanks

    Make sure the archive bit is cleared when doing a backup.
    If this is not the case you can use a trigger file.
