New Partition

Enterprise Vault can collect together multiple savesets archived with the same retention category, and store them in a single Centera clip.

The benefits of using collections are as follows:

Fewer Centera objects are created, which means that fewer objects need to be replicated.
Fewer objects need to be copied during a disaster recovery repair procedure.
There are fewer database and directory entries on the Centera, which saves some space.

Note:

A collection clip and the savesets that it contains are not deleted until there are no references to any of the savesets in the clip.

If you enable a vault store partition on a Centera device for collection, then an additional SQL index may be created for the Saveset table in the associated vault store database. Additional space is required for this index on the SQL Server. For more information on this index see the document, http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/288036, on the Symantec Enterprise Support site.

You can change the collection settings from the partition's properties whenever required. The change has no effect on the items that are already archived.

The options are as follows:

Enable collection. Select this setting to make Enterprise Vault use collections for this partition. Clear this setting if you do not want to use collections. If you enable collection you must supply a location for temporary files.
Location for temporary files. Specify the location in which you want Enterprise Vault to store temporary files that are waiting to be collected together.
Set security ACLs on temporary collection files. If you decide to create the temporary files without ACLs, be aware that there is no security on the files. In this case, we strongly recommend that you apply security manually.

When you have specified the collection settings, click Next to continue.
