About retention of archived items

When Enterprise Vault archives an item, it automatically assigns a retention category to specify how long to keep the item. Your administrator can set up different retention categories for different types of data, such as Business or Legal. As Enterprise Vault monitors the vaults, it can then delete any item whose retention period has elapsed.

You may be able to choose from a list of available retention categories when you store an item in a vault. If none of the categories is appropriate, ask your administrator to create a new one for you. If your administrator has set up Enterprise Vault for the migration of PST files, you may be able to change the retention category of PST files that you choose to migrate.

How Enterprise Vault calculates the start of the retention period for an item normally depends on the type of item. The start of the retention period is typically the received date for mail messages and the last-modified date for documents. However, your administrator may have set up Enterprise Vault so that the start of the retention period is the date on which the item was archived.
