About Enterprise Vault index locations

Enterprise Vault automatically creates an index for each archive. The size of an index depends on the amount of data that has been indexed in the archive and the level of indexing you choose. Full indexing requires approximately 12% of the space that is used by the original data.

In order to store indexes you must create one or more index locations for Enterprise Vault to use.

Note:

If you ran the Getting Started Wizard then you have already created some index locations. You can create more index locations as necessary.

Note:

Because anti-virus software can potentially change data, it is important to exclude the index locations in your virus checking application.
