When you create a policy to back up Enterprise Vault data, you choose the directive based on the data that you want to back up. In addition, the data that you back up also depend on the client(s) that you select in the policy. The following tables identify each of the available Enterprise Vault directives for Enterprise Vault 7.5 and Enterprise Vault 8.0 versions. Finally, a brief summary is provided that describes the data that is backed up when that particular directive is selected.
Table: Enterprise Vault 7.5 directives and what they back up shows the Enterprise Vault 7.5 directives. With each of these directives you can assume that a policy client is specified and each directive applies to full, differential, and cumulative backups. In addition, Enterprise Vault 7.5 supports multiple policy clients (except for the EV_VAULT_STORE_DB= directive).
