So following the data-only you could do step 1, if you rename the server do step 3, if not skip to step 4. For you step 4 is just mounting the the Index and Storage Partitions to the same drive letter. Work through the rest of the steps and you should be good to go.

After you re-install the OS follow the steps for a Data-only Recovery for the admin guide. The steps are also in this TN:

Hi LukasM,
You can reinstall Enterprise Vault following the DR procedure. Based on the type of recovery, you con follow one of these procedures:
Each one is described in the Enterprise Vault 10 Administrator Guide:
Symantec Enterprise Vault 10.0.4 - Administrator's Guide
http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC6588 (Chapter 28, Page 399)
I hope this helps.

When I use the configuration wizard, ask me to the Vault Directory. Do I have to use my sql server right?

Select default i.e. Yes and follow the procedure (Specify your existing SQL server where database resides) when it will go for creation it will detect that database is already present and will update instead of creation.

Excelent, I think its the same procedure with the site name and computer alias right? I use the old ones.

Yes

Ok, I assume that the archiving task, policies, etc will appear on the administration console.

Yes, that is correct. That information is contained in the EV Directory Database.
