Hi BitBucket,

Yes symantec techs do review this forum own their own time but this is primarily a peer to peer driven forum.  If you have an urgent need or don't get an answer you should open a case with support.

In answer to moving archiving points, I believe this technote will answer your query.
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/297183.htm


there is also this in the Utilities.pdf/chm 

FSAUtility syntax
Type one of the following forms of the command:

To recreate archive points, type the following:

FSAUtility -a -s UNC_path [-l log_level] [-r]

The following command recreates the archive points for the folder \\myserver\users in report mode. In addition, the command reports all the archive points in subfolders of this folder.

FSAUtility -a -s \\myserver\users -r

The following command recreates the archive points for both the folder \\myserver\users and all its subfolders.

FSAUtility -a -s \\myserver\users -l 0

You haven't provided much information about the details of your move.

Have you reviewed this support article?

basically i would perform a backup and restore to new file server and run the fasutility command .
How about the archive points for the Enterprise Vault server? after i have added in the new file server name.
I test before if i recreate the same archive point on the new file server there will be a duplicate archive file shown on the archive explorer
Please advise

when perforn a failover all the archive points are missing .
When i create it back from the Admin console , there will have duplicated on the archives > file system .

Can i use a archivepoint.exe \\UNC\Volume|foldershare to keep the existing archive infomation .

I need to do this very same thing. 
I am migrating to a new file server and need to move all the archive points to the new server.
The new server will have a different name, but will have the same folder structure.

How do I point the existing archive points to the new server?

For example, if I have an archive point and associated vault from \\oldserver\data, how do I make it point to \\newserver\data ?  I want to have all the data from \\newserver\data go into the same archive as \\oldserver\data.

I know I can use the FSAUtility to move placeholders, but I need to know how to do the above.
