How to manage the Enterprise Vault data content when it grows big and you are running out of disk space ?
Hi People, Can anyone suggest to me what is the best way to manage and sustain the Enterprise Vault data that grow bigger and larger every month ? My situation is that whenever my Exchange Server 2007 database drive is running low of disk space, I'd go to lower down the EV archive items from 6 months into 5 months and now down to 3 months just to create some room to breathe in the Exchange Server mailbox. I understand that this is not resolving the problem in the best way as it should since we just shifting away the disk space usage from Exchange into the Enterprise Vault. However what are my options to manage and sustain the growing data in the EV ? Can i offload to tape for the Vault data disk and then deleting it manually, what happens with the indexing and search when the data is archived to tape and I want to retrieve it later for some reason ? Any kind of assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.Solved2.3KViews3likes12CommentsSymantec Enterprise Vault Archive Vault backup & Virus Scanning best practice

Hello, We are backing up our EV 9 with NBU 7.5, the following way: - using the EV agent to backup the indexes - using an MS-Windows policy to backup the Open Partition and triggerring the databases backup (sql dump) with the bpstart_notify. (We know this isn't ideal but we cannot use the EV agent for everything as our sql server is Win2K12 and still unsupported by NBU) We are doing a FULL BKP every weekend and a Differential inc daily. The issue we are having is that the daily diff backup of the open partition is "bigger" and "bigger" (volume and time) as long as the week goes. It seems to me like it backs up the same volume of data that's on the partition. We also get the famous "There are 477172 savesets that have not yet been backed up or replicated for Vault Store" msg. In the VaultStore properties, The last scan started shows yesterday after backup completed, but Last item Secured shows Saturday (4 days ago, after the FUll Backup completed) The VaultStore is configured to use the archive bit. I read that differential backups in NBU do clearthe archive bit correctly so I don't understand what is wrong. Many thanks in advance for your help and sorry for this somewhat long description.416Views2likes2CommentsHow to configure "IgnoreArchiveBitTrigger" on Netapp for backing up Enterprise Vault Partitions
We have recently created some new Vaultstore partitions on Netapp storage, after browsing Symantec we have confirmed that we will be using the IgnoreArchiveBitTrigger mechanism so that Enterprise Vault can confirm items have been succesfully backed up. However we are having problems creating a script that will run the commands before and after backup on the Netapp Management Console(Data Protection Manager) - we have tested the powershell script which runs OK on its own but the console throws an error each time we try and run it. (error:"EntVault: Failed to run custom script "c:\SetEvBackupMode.ps1" : Could not invoke script: Error 193: is not a valid Win32 application")Solved780Views2likes3Commentssharepoint archive restore queries
