Damn.
Was sent the release notes for 80SP2.
In the upgrade pdf (well done guys!) there is a mentioning of the following:
Enterprise Vault 8.0 always creates Watchfile database records for items from journal mailboxes, regardless of the safety copies setting.
G'damn.
Now I need to figure out how to keep this working, while I know our backup department is unable to backup our 1 TB datadisks (of the journalservers, and I am talking 9 journalservers.)
Not amused.
Rest looks fine. Really curious to see if upgrading/installing OWA extentions will be as easy as described.

Hi all,
Thanks.
It's just more db-entries..
In an environment with over 75.000.000 mails a year, and growing, we're not talking 'more'
We'll have loads of watchfile items. I was wondering why this has been done (answered by Mike)
I realize I will need to plan something (most likely triggerfile) to clear our watchfile. After migration to Exchange2007, we'll have only 4 journal archiving servers instead of 9. Imagine the 'just more db-entries' on that. Ever since using journalarchiving, it has been decided not to back up the journal partitions. They are 1 TB, and hardly keeping up (most have less than 5% free). According to our backup-team, it is not possible to back it up in a reasonable amoutn of time. Not even using snapshots, raw disks copies or whatever else is possible.
Hence my surprise I now am forced to do some sort of backup (or pretend to)..
