Understanding the Total amount of archived item size in all EV vaults ?
Hi All,
My current Symantec Enterprise Vault server, usage from: http://<EV-Server-Name>/enterpriseVault/usage.asp is as follows:
Enterprise Vault - Vault Store Usage Information:
| Total number of Vault Stores | : 1 |
| Total number of Active Archives | : 1,984 |
| Total number of items | : 89,632,013 |
| Total size of items | : 18,391,974 MB |
| Average size of items | : 266 KB |
| Total number of items awaiting backup | : 9,236,566 |
My questions are:
- Total number of Active Archives: is this the number of mailbox or .PST when I export all ?
- Total size of items: is this the total disk space that I will require when all those .PST files exported to removable USB HDD ?
- Total number of items awaiting backup: Is this the number of email in Exchange Server that waiting to be archived to EV ?
Note: I'm running Enterprise Vault Version: 11.0.1.3683 and the SQL Server is on separate server.
Thanks in advance,
J
There is an explanation of the meaning of the report here: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH35741
I would say one thing about the size. EV has two sizes compressed, and original size. I'm not sure which of those two it's showing. However, PST files are notoriously 'bloaty' of data. So, if the figure in the report is the original size, you are likely to need almost TWICE that when it comes to PST files.
Yes, you need one Vaultstore open.
Open means physical data can be written to that machine.
If data cannot be written they queue up.
But "awaitiing backups" tells you that the trigger file wasn't created for a longer time.
Check backup and triggerfile "created date"
