Symantec recommends the following best practices when you use the Enterprise Vault Agent.
-
Back up the Enterprise Vault Directory database after you make any configuration changes in Enterprise Vault.
-
Restore the Enterprise Vault Directory database in a separate Backup Exec restore job.
-
Restore all Full, Differential, and Incremental backup sets of the vault store database in a single restore job.
-
Do not allow the backup window and archive window to overlap.
-
Do not allow the backup window and the migration window to overlap.
-
Make sure Enterprise Vault 8.x components are not in Backup mode before you back up the Enterprise Vault 8.x Directory database.
-
If you install both the Symantec Backup Exec NDMP Option and the Enterprise Vault Agent, pick only one product to protect an Enterprise Vault partition that resides on NDMP filers.
-
Do not change the recovery model of any database that is created by Enterprise Vault. Enterprise Vault configures each database in full recovery mode when it creates them.
