About deleting archived data from its original location

When you create a vault store, you can specify when to delete the archived data from its original location.

You can let Backup Exec do one of the following:

  • Delete the item from its original location immediately after it is archived.

    If the data is lost before the vault store is backed up, the only version of the data is on the backup set.

  • Delete it after the vault store is backed up and the next archive job runs.

If Backup Exec deletes an item immediately after it is archived, the item is deleted from its original location after the archive job has successfully completed. If the item is modified after it is archived but before it is backed up, then it is not deleted from its original location.
