Results of modifying folders

This section describes the effects of deleting, renaming, moving, or copying folders that have archive points or folder policies.

Table: Folders with archive points describes the results of performing these actions on folders that have archive points.

Table: Folders with archive points

When you do this to an archive point folder	This is the result
Delete	If you restore the folder, the archive point is restored. If you create a new folder with the same name and then add an archive point, the new folder is archived to a new archive.
Rename	The name is updated in both the Administration Console and Archive Explorer. Archiving is not affected.
Move	If the move is within the same physical volume, the archive point still works as before. If the move is to a different physical volume, the new folder's does not have an archive point. (File System Archiving removes the archive point on the next run.)
Copy	The new folder does not have an archive point. (File System Archiving removes the copied archive point on the next run.)

Table: Folders with folder policies describes the results of performing these actions on folders that have folder policies.

Table: Folders with folder policies

When you do this to a folder with a folder policy	This is the result
Delete	Enterprise Vault logs the fact that the folder is missing and then continues to process the volume. The folder still appears in the Administration Console and you need to delete it there. There will be warnings in the File System Archiving report files until you do so. Items previously archived from the folder are visible in Archive Explorer and can be searched for.
Rename	The name is updated in both the Administration Console and Archive Explorer.
Move	The folder policy works as before. The archive point that controls the new location dictates the archive that is used. There may a warning in the File System Archiving report file for the first archiving run after the deletion. This warning is not logged on subsequent runs. Whether you get a warning depends on the order in which File System Archiving processes the folders. If File System Archiving processes first the folder from which the folder was moved, a warning is logged because the folder appears to be missing. When File System Archiving processes the destination folder, it finds the moved folder and so does not log the warning again. If File System Archiving processes first the folder into which the folder was moved, no warning is logged.
Copy	The folder is treated as a new folder, with no folder policy.
