Did you delete the Archives ? Is the FSA archive folder you are talking about ?

Hi Rahul

I am new to EV. As per my understanding, 

Under Vault Store Group , when i right click and Vault store partition properties

This is the parth       \\tri02finance\Email_Archives\Archived Mails

under this path i see only 2010. 2011. 2012. 2013.

So the old data which removed is also available in the backup. it has lot of years as attached in the screenshot. 

Kindly advice how i can merge that data with this vault store path

Regards

Kamal

You can simply stop the enterprise vault storage service and restore the all the missing folder .

Thanks.

is this so simple?

I was wondering, because of that it should not disturb the current function.

As you mentioned that you have just removed the folder from the parition , I assume you haven't made any changes to the databases and Index location.

When backing up EV you need to bakcup 

1. Ev databases

2. EV parition location 

3. Ev indexs.

So when you perform a backup you pu the EV in database so all the infromation gets backed up properly . The information stored in the database should match up with the data you have in your partitions . So if you have just removed the folder from the parition you can restore it back as the infromation about the data which you are restoring would be there in the respective databases.
