Storing folders manually

Enterprise Vault performs automatic archiving in the background, and does not require any action from you. However, there may be occasions when you want to store a complete folder in your vault manually. You can store a folder if your administrator has set up Enterprise Vault to permit it. You cannot store a complete mailbox.

You can use the Enterprise Vault options in Outlook to store a folder. You can also move or copy a folder to your Virtual Vault to store it.

The following Enterprise Vault folder settings are obeyed when you store a complete folder:

Vault
Retention Category
Create shortcut to archived item after archiving
Delete original item after archiving
Archive unread items

The following settings are ignored when you store a complete folder:

Do not archive this folder
Do not archive this item

To store a folder using Enterprise Vault options

Select the folder to store.
Click Store in Vault on the toolbar or, on the Tools menu, click Enterprise Vault > Store in Vault.
Check or uncheck Include subfolders.
Click OK.

To store a folder using Virtual Vault

Use any of the normal Outlook actions to move or copy the folder into your Virtual Vault.

For example, you can store the folder in the following ways:
- To move the folder, right-click it. Then click Move "folder name" and select a Virtual Vault folder in the Move Folder dialog box.
- To copy the folder, right-click it. Then click Copy "folder name" and select a Virtual Vault folder in the Copy Folder dialog box.
