Reviewing the default archiving settings for the Site

Check the default settings configured in the Enterprise Vault Site properties.

To review the Site settings

  1. In the Administration Console, right-click your Enterprise Vault Site.

  2. On the shortcut menu, click Properties.

  3. Site properties include the following settings that are applicable to archiving from Domino servers. Note that you can override some of these at a lower level. For example, you can override the Site archiving schedule for a particular task by setting the schedule in the task properties. The indexing level can also be set at policy level and the default retention category can be set at provisioning group or policy level.

    Archive Settings
