Veritas Enterprise Vault™ Introduction and Planning

SharePoint archiving tasks

The SharePoint task is the process that archives the SharePoint site collections. Task properties include the archiving schedule, the account the process is to use and the archiving reports to generate.

A single task can support several SharePoint targets, which may be web applications or site collections. Alternatively, you can create multiple SharePoint tasks and assign targets to each task, as required. The SharePoint task runs under the control of the Task Controller Service.

To archive regularly all the target sites associated with a task, you can use an Enterprise Vault site schedule or you can set a separate schedule for the SharePoint task. Alternatively, an immediate archive run can be started for all sites serviced by an archiving task, or for a particular site collection.
