Enterprise Vault archives from all databases in a specified folder in the server's data directory.
The normal Enterprise Vault configuration is to retain the original item until the vault store that contains the archived item has been backed up. Enterprise Vault then deletes the original item. The Domino Database Management method must not interfere with this Enterprise Vault process, which means that the "Purge and Compact" method (specified in the Journaling section of the server configuration document) is unsuitable, because there is the potential to lose items that have, for some reason, not been archived.
Thus, the Domino Journal database must have its Database Management method set to one of the following in the Journaling section of the server configuration document:
Periodic Rollover or Size Rollover - Domino automatically places the old database in the server's data folder. In order to ensure that all items are archived from the old database, and to remove items when the archive has been backed up, you must move the old databases back to the Journal database folder.
None - This method has the side-effect that the database will keep growing and will require manual maintenance.
You must configure your Domino Journal database appropriately so that it can be archived by Enterprise Vault.
