Checking that the partition has been backed up before Enterprise Vault removes safety copies

If you choose to keep safety copies Enterprise Vault must check that the partition has been backed up before it removes those safety copies.

Enterprise Vault checks that each partition has been backed up based on one of the following:

  • The archive attribute of the files on the partition. You can use archive attributes to determine whether a partition has been backed up only if your backup software resets the archive attributes after backup.

  • A trigger file mechanism. If you backup software does not reset the archive attribute on the files it backs up, you must use this mechanism.

You must choose which method to use for each partition when you create it.
