You can handle archiving and maintenance of the data that is stored on network shares using Symantec Enterprise Vault™ . This feature enables you to identify old and inactive data residing on storage devices and to archive it directly from the Data Insight Management Console. To perform an archive operation on a file, you must have relevant read-write permissions on that file.

To ensure proper functioning of the archive operations, you must have Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 running on the Data Insight Management Server. Ensure that you restart the Management Server after you have finished installing the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.

Enterprise Vault (EV) must be successfully configured before you can archive data from the Data Insight Management Console. To configure Enterprise Vault complete the following tasks:

Run the Enterprise Vault Configuration Wizard to create Enterprise Vault Directory Database and Enterprise Vault site.
Add indexing locations.
Add Vault Store Groups and Vault Store Partitions to store archived items. When configuring a Vault Store, if it makes sense for your organization, set the Remove safety copies option to Immediately after archive. Selecting this option ensures that the post-processing actions, such as creation of a placeholder or deletion of file are performed immediately after the file is archived. This is especially useful during Testing and Proof of Concept deployments.
Modify the File System Archiving (FSA) task properties, if necessary.
Add the necessary retention categories.
Create archiving policies or modify the Default FSA Volume Policy and Default FSA Folder Policy, if necessary.
Add archiving targets for NetApp filers and Windows file servers. When adding a Windows File Server as a target, select the option to install the placeholder service on the file server.
Add volumes and folders for the targets, and create the necessary archive points.

For detailed instructions on completing the Enterprise Vault configuration tasks, see the Symantec Enterprise Vault™ documentation.

Note:

If there are multiple Enterprise Vault servers in an Enterprise Vault site, then only one of the EV servers in the site must be added to the Data Insight configuration. If any of the Enterprise Vault servers is down, archiving of files from the shares that use vault stores that are managed by that Enterprise Vault server fails. For information about Enterprise Vault sites and vault stores, see the Symantec Enterprise Vault™ Introduction and Planning Guide.

For instructions on initiating archive requests, see the Symantec Data Insight User's Guide.
