Results of modifying folders
This section describes
the effects of deleting, renaming, moving, or copying folders that
have archive points or folder policies.
Table: Folders with archive points
describes the results of performing these actions on folders that
have archive points.
Table: Folders with archive points
When you do this to an archive point folder
|
This is the result
|
Delete
|
If you restore the folder, the archive point is restored.
If you create a new folder with the same name and then add an
archive point, the new folder is archived to a new archive.
|
Rename
|
The name is updated in both the Administration Console and
Archive Explorer. Archiving is not affected.
|
Move
|
If the move is within the same physical volume, the archive
point still works as before.
If the move is to a different physical volume, the new folder's
does not have an archive point. (File System Archiving removes the
archive point on the next run.)
|
Copy
|
The new folder does not have an archive point. (File System
Archiving removes the copied archive point on the next run.)
|
Table: Folders with folder policies
describes the results of performing these actions on folders that
have folder policies.
Table: Folders with folder policies
When you do this to a folder with a folder policy
|
This is the result
|
Delete
|
Enterprise Vault logs the fact that the folder is missing and
then continues to process the volume.
The folder still appears in the Administration Console and you
need to delete it there. There will be warnings in the File System
Archiving report files until you do so.
Items previously archived from the folder are visible in Archive
Explorer and can be searched for.
|
Rename
|
The name is updated in both the Administration Console and
Archive Explorer.
|
Move
|
The folder policy works as before. The archive point that
controls the new location dictates the archive that is used.
There may a warning in the File System Archiving report file for
the first archiving run after the deletion. This warning is not
logged on subsequent runs.
Whether you get a warning depends on the order in which File
System Archiving processes the folders. If File System Archiving
processes first the folder from which the folder was moved, a
warning is logged because the folder appears to be missing. When
File System Archiving processes the destination folder, it finds
the moved folder and so does not log the warning again. If File
System Archiving processes first the folder into which the folder
was moved, no warning is logged.
|
Copy
|
The folder is treated as a new folder, with no folder
policy.
