A few days ago I successfully created a vault store on my media backup server configured with the "Delete the archived item from its original location after vault store backup" option set.
I then ran an archive job on one of my file shares, it completed successfully and saved approx 15GB of data from my file share. I tested the archive by running a Restore from Archives job (I redirected the content to a restore directory), which also completed successfully.
I then completed a full backup of the vault store to tape, this completed successfully.
However, the job did not purge any of the archived items from the original location, as I expected. None of the files that were archived were changed or accessed. I don't get any error messages or anything that might suggest that there is any issue going on.
How do I get the Archive Option to purge archived items from my original file share? I thought maybe this takes place as a scheduled task or as part of maintenance but it has been over a day and the archived files are still in their original location.
Thanks,

Looks like I figured this one out on my own. Documentation didn't seem very clear but I found that you have to run the archive job again after the vault store backup - files are purged during the archive job.
