When Enterprise Vault archives from a file server it can leave behind shortcuts to the files that have been archived. The archiving rules determine when a shortcut is created.
. This is a .url text file that contains a hypertext link to the archived file.
. This is a special file that appears exactly as the original file but, when opened, forces Enterprise Vault to fetch the archived file.
This option is not available if the volume does not support placeholder shortcuts. To use placeholder shortcuts, all the appropriate conditions must be met.
The conditions for placeholders are as follows:
For NTFS servers, the FSA Agent must be installed on the file server. The volume must be an NTFS device; it is not sufficient to use a non-NTFS device that appears on the network as an NTFS device. The volume must represent a complete partition.
For NetApp Filer devices, Data ONTAP 7.0 or later is required. You must give the vault service account administrative permissions on the file server.
For EMC Celerra devices, you must enable the filemover functionality on the Celerra and create an HTTP connection.
For more details on configuring servers for placeholder shortcuts, see Setting up File System Archiving.

. Select this option to make Enterprise Vault delete placeholder files when their corresponding archived files are deleted.
Deletion and recall of placeholders requires the appropriate permissions on the file server volume.
