Normally, File System Archiving processes file servers according to the schedule that you specify for the File System Archiving task. Sometimes, though, you may want to process file servers outside this schedule. On such occasions, you can use Run Now to start the tasks immediately. Run Now is often useful when you are piloting or demonstrating Enterprise Vault.
Note the following:
If the file server's volumes are archived by different tasks, you need to run each of those tasks in order to archive all the volumes. As an alternative, you can process individual volumes.
Run Now reports only on files that are beneath archive points.
When archiving by quota, the number of files actually archived may not match the number shown in the report. This is because the order in which the files are processed during a report mode run is unlikely to be the same as the order during the normal run.
File System Archiving archives only sufficient eligible files to meet the quota settings, so there may be more, or fewer, files actually archived than shown in the report.
To run a task immediately
In the Administration Console, expand the Enterprise Vault site until the Enterprise Vault Servers container is visible.
Expand the Enterprise Vault server that hosts the task you want to run.
In the list, right-click the File System Archiving task you want to run and, on the shortcut menu, click Run Now.
In the Run Now dialog box, select the mode to use. The options are as follows:
In normal mode: The file server is processed normally; the files that match the archiving criteria are archived.
In report mode: Nothing is archived, but Enterprise Vault generates a report that shows you what would be archived if you processed the server in normal mode. The report also includes volumes and folders for which archiving has been disabled.
The File System Archiving
task creates the reports in the Reports\FSA subfolder of the Enterprise Vault
installation folder, typically C:\Program
Files\Enterprise Vault. Within Reports\FSA there is a subfolder for the task,
with further subfolders to indicate the mode in which the task was
run.
See File System Archiving task reports.
The fields within the file are tab-separated, so the contents can easily be read into a spreadsheet program for analysis.
Run the task for the creation of shortcuts only: Select this option to restrict the task so that it does not archive, but does create shortcuts. The task creates shortcuts according to the shortcut creation settings in the policy archiving rules. When you select this option the task does not perform archiving. You can choose In report mode to generate a report of shortcuts that would be created if the task ran in normal mode.
