Enterprise Vault™ Introduction and Planning

Users can restore files in the following ways:

• Clicking a placeholder shortcut recalls the file from the archive.

  Note:

  If pass-through recall is in effect, Enterprise Vault recalls the file to the file server only if the calling application requires a writeable version.

  A file that is recalled to the file server replaces the placeholder shortcut.

  • If the recalled file remains unmodified, Enterprise Vault converts the file back to a placeholder on the next archiving service run. The only exception is if the archiving policy's shortcut creation rules are based on the last access time. In that case, Enterprise Vault reverts the file only when the shortcut creation rules are met.

  • If the recalled file becomes modified, Enterprise Vault converts the file back to a placeholder according to the archiving policy's shortcut creation rules.

• Clicking an internet shortcut gives the user the option of opening or saving the file. Both of these options involve recalling the file from the archive.

• Using Enterprise Vault Search, the user can select files and then right-click to copy or move them.

  Copy places a copy of the archived file in the selected location. Move places a copy of the archived file in the selected location and deletes the file from the archive.
