About Exchange Server archiving and user mailboxes
User mailboxes hold many types of information, for example, messages, documents, spreadsheets, graphics, and voice mail. You can specify the types of items that Enterprise Vault archives (message classes) in the properties of the Enterprise Vault Directory or in the Exchange mailbox policy.
In Enterprise Vault, you create an Exchange Mailbox task to archive items from user mailboxes. The user mailboxes that the task is to archive are defined using Targets. Enterprise Vault automatically creates an archive for each user mailbox to be archived. How the mailboxes are to be archived is defined in Exchange Mailbox Policies.
A single Enterprise Vault site can serve more than one Exchange domain (Exchange Organization in Active Directory). Using policies, you can apply the same archiving strategy to all users in a domain or you can configure different archiving strategies for different groups of users within the domain.
If you use a database availability group (DAG) in your Exchange environment, you must set up archiving for all members of the DAG.
Mailbox archiving does not automatically archive information held in PST files stored on the user's computer. However, the administrator can use Enterprise Vault PST migration tools to copy items from PST files into user mailbox archives.
