Move Archive lets you move inactive archives from the source Enterprise Vault site, to active archives in another site. This is useful when you want to move an individual user's mailbox to a different Domino or Exchange mail server in another Enterprise Vault site.
In this case, you must disable archiving for the user in the source site, then move the mailbox and enable it for archiving in the destination. When you have done this, you can use Move Archive to move the associated archive to the destination site.
This section describes the actions you must complete to move a user's mailbox, and the subsequent steps that are required to move the archive.
When you have moved the user's mailbox and enabled it for archiving in the destination site, you can move the inactive source archive. In this case, the move operation includes the following steps:
Move Archive closes the source archive. However, the source archive is still accessible in read-only mode.
Move Archive renames the source archive. It appends the archive's creation date, and the date of the move operation to the archive's name.
Move Archive copies the data from the source archive to the destination.
The mailbox archiving task on the destination server points all the shortcuts in the user's mailbox to the content in the new archive in the destination site.
Move Archive completes this step even if you do not use mailbox shortcuts in your environment.
Move Archive waits for the destination vault store to be backed up, except when the source vault store is configured to remove safety copies immediately after archiving.
Move Archive verifies that all the data is present in the destination archive.
The move operation is now complete and you may delete the source archive.
