Configuring the removal of Enterprise Vault safety copies

During the creation of each vault store, you chose from following settings to control how Enterprise Vault manages safety copies:

Never. Enterprise Vault does not remove safety copies, even after they have been backed up.
After backup. Enterprise Vault does not remove safety copies until the partition that contains the archived items has been backed up.
After backup (immediate for journaling). This option is the same as the After backup option except for journal items which are removed immediately after they are archived.
Immediately after archive. All original items are removed as soon as they have been archived.

You can change this setting subsequently in the Administration console.

To configure the removal of safety copies for an existing vault store

In the left pane of the administration console, expand the Vault Store Groups container and find the vault store.
Right-click the vault store and click Properties.
On the General tab of the Vault Store Properties page, choose an option from the Remove safety copies list.
Click OK.
