Fingerprint databases

Each vault store group usually has a fingerprint database which holds the data that enables Enterprise Vault single instance storage.

Each fingerprint database is called EVVSG_vaultstoregroup_n_m, where vaultstoregroup is the name of the vault store group with its spaces removed. n and m are internally generated integers.

You should also set backup mode on the corresponding vault store group, and back up all its vault stores at the same time you back up the fingerprint database.

See Enterprise Vault backup mode.

The following document on the Symantec support web site describes procedures which you can use to back up your Enterprise Vault SQL databases if you do not use a third party SQL backup tool:
