Hello All,
Can we run Enterprise vault closed and open partition backup simultaneously however in two separate agent based backup policies. From what I understand closed partition backup does not place EV in backup mode however open partition backup does though I'm not sure if this is relevant or not.
Thanks

Hi Kisad,
Actually you don't have to backup close partition regularly. backup it frequently, as there will not be any changes in close partition unlike open partition.
use appropriate backup Strategy for the EV backup as suggested in Backing Up Enterprise Vault White Paper

Ideally EV should be place in backup mode when backing up your Open paritition as well as closed partition

Do you have storage Expiry enabled ? If its is not enabled, It would be ok not to backup the closed partition on regular basis .

No need for 'Backup Mode' when the EV agent is used.
Have a look at the options for each EV version in the NetBackup Enterprise Vault Agent Portal : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH126523
