Normally, File System Archiving processes each volume as part of a scheduled run. Sometimes, though, you may want to process a particular volume outside this schedule. On such occasions, you can use "Run Now" to process the volume immediately. "Run Now" is often useful when you are piloting or demonstrating Enterprise Vault.
Note the following:
Run Now reports only on files that are beneath archive points.
When archiving by quota, the number of files actually archived may not match the number shown in the report. This is because the order in which the files are processed during a report mode run is unlikely to be the same as the order during the normal run.
File System Archiving archives only sufficient eligible files to meet the quota settings, so there may be more, or fewer, files actually archived than shown in the report.
To process a volume immediately
In the Administration Console, expand the Enterprise Vault site until the Targets container is visible.
Expand the target file server whose volume you want to process.
Right-click the volume that you want to process and then, on the shortcut menu, click Run Now.
The File System Archiving
task creates the reports in the Reports\FSA
subfolder of the Enterprise Vault
installation folder, typically C:\Program
Files\Enterprise Vault
. Within Reports\FSA
there is a subfolder for the task,
with further subfolders to indicate the mode in which the task was
run.
See File System Archiving task reports.
The fields within the file are tab-separated, so the contents can easily be read into a spreadsheet program for analysis.
Run the task for the creation of shortcuts only: Select this option to restrict the task so that it does not archive, but does create shortcuts. The task creates shortcuts according to the shortcut creation settings in the policy archiving rules. When you select this option the task does not perform archiving. You can choose In report mode to generate a report of shortcuts that would be created if the task ran in normal mode.
