DWORD.

0 - Do not perform alphabetical sorting of the list of folders that the FSA checkpoint mechanism is to process.

1 - Perform alphabetical sorting of the list of folders before the FSA checkpoint mechanism inspects it.

This registry value is not created automatically.

Description

The FSA checkpoint mechanism is designed to process the subfolders of a partially processed target volume in alphabetical order to determine whether the previous checkpoint has been reached. Some file server systems do not present the list of folders in alphabetical order. A non-alphabetical list can cause FSA to reprocess some folders repeatedly during multiple archiving runs.

To fix this issue, you can use the CheckpointSort registry value to make the checkpoint mechanism sort the list of folders into alphabetical order before inspection.

To enable alphabetical sorting, create this registry value on the Enterprise Vault server, and set its value to 1.

The change takes effect from the next run of the File System Archiving task.
