Checking that partitions have been backed up

If you select the After backup option or the After backup (immediate for journaling) option, Enterprise Vault must check that the partition has been backed up before it removes safety copies.

During the creation of each vault store, you chose from the following options:

You can change this setting subsequently in the Administration console.

To configure which method Enterprise Vault uses to ensure a partition's data is backed up

  1. In the left pane of the administration console, expand the Vault Store Groups container and select the vault store contains the partition.

  2. In the right pane, right-click the partition and click Properties.

  3. Click the Backup tab.

  4. Select one of the following options:

    • Use the archive attribute

    • Check for a trigger file

  5. If you selected the Check for a trigger file option, you can also set a partition scan interval, which determines how often Enterprise Vault checks the partition for a trigger file. Select the Scan partition every option and set a scan interval in minutes.

  6. Click OK.
