    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"

Rob_Wilcox1, thanks for the reply,

Is it because the item displayed in the Usage.ASP is the deduplicated and compressed size ?

    I don't remember whether the usage report shows compressed size or original size.

     

    EVEN if it shows the original size, then, PSTs will still likely be (roughly) twice that size. It's the nature of PSTs.

      Thanks for the clarification Rob_Wilcox1 I will prepare the largest USB removable HDD possible on the market that I can found and then stage the export process by name or size if it is possible.

        Hi,

        are you assure that you have 9 mio Items that need to be backed up to be archived?

        Are you using the archive bit trigger?

        You might want to check the savesets to make the awaiting items process. Unless you are planning somthing else.
