About PST file migration

Enterprise Vault does not normally archive any information that is held in Personal Storage Table (PST) files on your computer, unless your administrator has enabled your mailbox for PST file migration. The administrator can archive these items for you or let you choose whether to migrate PST files to Enterprise Vault.

Depending on how your administrator has configured PST file migration you can do the following:

  • View the status of PST files that are migrating or have migrated to Enterprise Vault.

  • Choose whether to migrate PST files to Enterprise Vault.

  • Submit PST files for migration.

  • Change the retention category of PST files that you choose to migrate.

    Note that certain Enterprise Vault features can override your selected retention category. For example, your administrator can choose to set up one or more folders, called retention folders, in your vault. If you migrate the contents of a PST file into a retention folder, the retention category that your administrator has selected for this folder may override the retention category that you have selected.

You can continue to use your PST files to read and store items as normal during the migration. However, do not edit the items that are in the files because the changes may not be saved.

If any of your PST files is password-protected, you may be prompted for the password.

Depending on how your administrator has configured Enterprise Vault, the PST file is deleted when the migration successfully completes. You can use Search Vaults to search for the items that have been archived or restore items using the Restore option.
