Duplicate items after restore to original mailbox

[woelki]

Hey guys,

one of our customers will discontinue our services, so we want to export their archives to their original mailboxes.
So I started test exports for roughly 8 users. The process correctly places the orgininal items in the correct subfolder, it replaces all the shortcuts, BUT... not only by one rather than two items!

I followed these instructions...
https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH198323

and in advance I disabled the users for archiving at least one night before.

Just as a hint, for sure I know the possibility to delete the shortcuts in the Outlook mailbox by searching for the message class.
But this is not a fluent process as we are talking here about 1000 users.

Any idea how this can happen?

Kind reagrds,

woelki

Sounds like issue listed in following Tech note
"Exporting archived items to original mailbox does not always replace shortcut/stub" http://www.veritas.com/docs/000083920

Yes, but not comprehensively. The article mentions that sometimes a shortcut is not deleted and addtionaly the orgininal item is placed in the mailbox.

In my case the shortcut is deleted always and I receive two full mail items which will double the size.

And this does not occur sometimes, but for each single item.
