Configuring Microsoft Azure Blob Storage as secondary storage

Use the Enterprise Vault Administration Console to enable and configure Microsoft Azure Blob Storage as secondary storage.

For each vault store partition for which you want to configure Microsoft Azure Blob Storage as secondary storage, follow these steps.

To configure Microsoft Azure Blob Storage as secondary storage

  1. Start the Enterprise Vault Administration Console.
  2. In the left pane of the Administration Console, expand the Enterprise Vault site hierarchy until the vault store partition from which you want to migrate data is visible.
  3. Right-click the vault store partition and click Properties. You can also double-click the vault store partition to open the vault store partition properties page.
  4. In the Collection tab, do the following:

    • Select Use collection files to enable collection.

    • Select Enterprise Vault as the file collection software.

    • Specify the daily collection times and the amount of time that must elapse since items were archived before they are eligible for collection.

      Note:

      For optimal performance, do not change the default collection file size.

      You can also enable and configure collection when creating a new vault store partition using the New Partition wizard.

  5. In the Migration tab, do the following:

    • Select Migrate files to enable migration.

    • Select Microsoft Azure Blob Storage as the migrator software.

    • Specify the amount of time that must elapse since a collection file was created before it is eligible for migration.

    • Choose whether to remove the collection files from primary storage after they have been migrated. Specify the amount of time that must elapse since the migration before the files are deleted.

    You can also enable and configure migration when creating a new vault store partition using the New Partition wizard.
  6. In the Advanced tab, configure the Microsoft Azure Blob Storage server properties.
