In Enterprise Vault site properties you can specify a maximum size, in gigabytes, for the PST holding folder. The size that is specified applies to each PST Collector task. For example, if you specify the maximum folder size as 5 GB, and there are two PST Collector tasks configured, then the total maximum size of the PST holding folder is 10 GB.
The PST Migrator task should empty the PST holding folder during its scheduled daily run. If PST files remain in the PST holding folder, they are not migrated until the next scheduled run starts. As PST files are set to read-only during migration, users cannot access to these PST files for an extended period.
You can use one of the following techniques to ensure that the PST Migrator task empties the PST holding folder:
Set a suitable maximum size for the PST holding folder that ensures the PST Migrator task is able to empty the folder during its scheduled daily run.
Set a small maximum size for the PST holding folder, and then schedule the PST Collector task so that it keeps the folder full. Set the schedule for the PST Collector task so that it ends before the end of the PST Migrator task schedule. This approach ensures that the PST Migrator task has time to empty the folder during its scheduled run.
When the PST Migrator task runs it generates a report file. You can use the information in this report to determine the average number of PST files that the task can migrate during its scheduled run. In the properties of the PST Collector task you can then specify a maximum number of PST files that can be stored in the PST holding folder.
