Close Mailbox Vault Store Partition

[Nicola_Rositani]

I've only one mailbox vault store partition. Backup time is very high and I need to close my partition and open another.

This is my question: if I close the partition and users delete archived items who are in this partition, the file system (file.dvs) disappared?

Thanks for all

First of all, if you are experiencing unusually high backup times, then you may want to consider enabling collections to run against your suspect partition.  This will drastically reduce the time necessary to backup your storage.  Opening a new partition isn't going to reduce backup times, especially considering that this issue will surface again, once you begin adding items to your new partition.  Collections is your friend.

Closing the partition will limit the need to keep backing it up as new items will be written to the new partition. Collections will help as well, but make sure your backups are good!

It's a good practice to keep your partitions to a managable size

Right you are Wedge, only closed partitions will benefit as they won't have to be backed up as often.  However, might I encourage that you enable collections as your open partitions are going to greatly benefit from your savesets being CAB'ed.

Thanks for your replies.

I've just implemented collections. I've backup time too slow. My ask is: if a close partition, users can delete archived items in closed partition?

Thanks!!!!

If you are allowing deletions to occur then yes, they can.
