Creating archiving targets for SharePoint site collections

If Auto-enable Site Collections is selected on the SharePoint target object, a target site collection object for each top level site is created automatically when the archiving task runs.

The account that the archiving task uses must have site collection administrator permissions in each of the target SharePoint site collections.

As an alternative to giving site collection administrator permissions in each of the target SharePoint site collections, you can give the task account full control permissions on the target SharePoint web application. This alternative can be useful when you use the auto-enable option.

You can set full control permissions using the Policy for Web Application page in SharePoint Central Administration.

Figure: Archiving targets illustrates the relationship between web applications and sites on the SharePoint targets (on the left) and associated archiving target objects in the Enterprise Vault Administration Console (on the right).

Archiving targets

If you only want to archive some site collections, clear the Auto-enable Site Collections check box on the SharePoint target object and create the required target site collection objects manually.

To create SharePoint archiving target site collections manually

  1. In the left pane of the Administration Console, locate the required SharePoint target object.
  2. Right-click the object and select New > SharePoint Site Collection.

    This starts a New SharePoint Site Collection wizard.

  3. On the first page of the wizard, click Next.
  4. Enter the URL for the top level site in the site collection, for example:

    http://sharepoint/sites/marketing

    Note that the default site collection in SharePoint may have the same URL as the web application.

  5. Select the required scope of archiving for this site collection: the top level website only, the subsites only, or both. Click Next.
  6. Highlight the vault store to be used for the SharePoint archives. A separate archive is created automatically in the vault store for each top-level site.

    To add a SharePoint site collection that was previously added and then deleted, you must select the same vault store that was used previously for that site collection.

    Click Next.

  7. Select the policy and archiving task to be used to archive the site collection. Click Next.
  8. Select the retention category or retention plan to apply to any files that are archived. You can use New to create a new retention category or retention plan, if required. Click Next.
  9. The next screen shows a summary of the details for archiving the site collection. If this is correct, click Finish.
  10. A prompt confirms that the object has been created. Click Close.
