Site Properties: Archive Usage Limit

The Archive Usage Limit tab enables you to set a maximum size limit for all archives in the Site.

When an archive has reached its usage limit, no more items can be archived in it unless the limit is changed. There is no immediate indication that an archive has reached its limit.

To monitor archive usage, see the reports from Vault Store Usage Reporter. See About Vault Store Usage Reporter.

You can override the limits you set here, as follows:

Enabled. Select this to turn on limit checking. Clear this to remove limit checking. If you do not enable limit checking here you can still enable it for individual vault stores or archives by editing their properties.

User Notification. Enterprise Vault can automatically send mail messages to users who are approaching, have reached, the size limits for their archives. Note that there may be little point in doing this unless you have allowed users to delete from their archives.

The notification is triggered when an item archived from a mailbox takes the usage level over the threshold. The mail message is sent to the mailbox from which the item came. If an archive is shared, any mailbox that causes the limit to be exceeded receives a notification message.

Note that there is no notification for archives associated with File System Archiving.
