Restoring items to your mailbox

You can either restore an item to the location from which Enterprise Vault archived it or to a location that you specify.

When you restore an item, you can choose to copy it or move it. If you choose to copy an item, a copy is retained in the archive. If you choose to move the item, it is deleted from the archive.

Note the following:

  • You can restore items only if your administrator has configured Enterprise Vault Search to let you do so.

  • If you have permission to restore items, you can restore them from Exchange, File System Archiving, and Domino archives.

To restore items

  1. Select the items in the results pane.

    To select multiple adjacent items, select the first item, hold Shift, and select the last item.

    To select multiple nonadjacent items, hold Ctrl and select the items.

  2. Do one of the following:
    • Right-click the item or click the Actions button and then point to the copy or move command.

    • Click the Move to Archive or Copy to Restored Items Folder button in the reading pane toolbar if you have selected just one item.

  3. Depending on the option you selected you may have to choose one of the following options:

    Current Location

    Restores items to the current folder.

    The current folder is the location in the mailbox that corresponds to the location of the archived items inside the archive. For example, if the shortcut has been moved from its original folder, the current folder is the folder where the shortcut is now located. If the shortcut has expired or has been deleted, the current folder is the folder where the shortcut was last located.

    Restored Items Folder

    Restores items to the folder that is named Restored Items.

    If the Restored Items folder does not exist, Enterprise Vault Search creates it when you restore an item.

    Selected Folder

    Restores items to a folder of your choice.

    A dialog box opens where you must specify the folder to which you want to copy or move the items.
