About Enterprise Vault backups
Enterprise Vault requires an effective backup strategy to prevent data loss, and to provide a means for recovery in the event of a system failure. When you plan this strategy, remember that Enterprise Vault components can be distributed across multiple systems. The resources on which Enterprise Vault depends may be remote from Enterprise Vault services and tasks.
