Updating volume and folder policies

Enterprise Vault creates the following policies by default:

  • Under Policies > File > Volume - Default Share Archive Settings

  • Under Policies > File > Folder - Default Folder Archive Settings

Backup Exec File System Archiving Option creates the following policies by default:

  • Under Policies > File > Volume - BEAO FSA Volume Policy with zero rules

  • Under Policies > File > Folder - BEAO FSA Folder Policy with zero rules

Additionally, the rules you create for archiving jobs in Backup Exec File System Archiving Option are populated as policies in Enterprise Vault. These folder policies are named after the archiving jobs that they were associated with. For example, Archive 00001.

You can change the policy settings by updating the properties of the volume and folder policies.

To update volume policies

  1. In the Administration Console, expand the Enterprise Vault site until the Policies container is visible.
  2. Expand the Policies container.
  3. Expand the File container.
  4. Click the Volume container.
  5. In the list of policies, right-click the policy you want to modify and, on the shortcut menu, click Properties.
  6. Click the Shortcuts tab.

    The setting for the type of shortcut to leave to an archived file is set to Internet Link by default. You can edit this setting if you want Enterprise Vault to leave placeholders instead of links.

    Note that if you choose to leave placeholder shortcuts, you must install the FSA Agent on any Windows file servers to which this policy is applied.

    See "Installing the FSA Agent on a Windows file server" in the Setting up File System Archiving guide for instructions on how to install the FSA Agent.

  7. Click the Archiving Rules tab.

    There are no rules defined in Enterprise Vault for the volume policy. You need to define the set of rules you want Enterprise Vault to include in this policy.

  8. Similarly, you can define any File Blocking rules in the File Blocking Rules tab.
  9. Click the Permissions tab.

    The setting for archiving files with explicit permission is set to Ignore them. You may choose to select Archive them to make Enterprise Vault include files with explicit permissions when archiving.
