I’m doing EV 10.0.3 backups through NBU 7.5.0.4
I use the directives and the database/app agent on my EV servers.
I’m not sure if you know about the “safety copies” that exist in EV, but essentially EV won’t remove the full-content email from Exchange until it gets a full-content
backup on both EV and Exchange.
With Exchange, it uses VSS. I’m not entirely sure what triggers with EV, but file-level and database backups work.
Are you using the DB/APP agent on your EV server(s)? or are you just using file-level? Also, how are you backing up your EV databases? Are they local or point
to an external sql server?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup / Enterprise Vault 10 - Question / Query
I am looking for some advice or assitance in regards to Enterprise Vault Email Backups and NetBackup 7.5
Presently, I have been doing Full backups of all drive letters of the Server (Windows 2008 R2) and Diff backups during the week (Based on the Enterprise Vault details I found).
However, its been noticed that items are NOT being archived correctly. They show a "clock" icon next to the emails and if you open the email it says "This item is being archived
by Enterprise Vault do not copy, move or delete this item".
However ,it has been like this for months, and the backups are being blamed :(
I downloaded the Symantec White Paper for Enterprise Vault. But before going down this road, I wanted to find out how anyone else is backing up Enterprise Vault for email.
Any input would be apprecaited.
