Subclient Properties (Archiving Rules)

Use this tab to view or change archiving rules for this subclient.

Enable All Rules

Specifies whether the archiving rules for this subclient will be disabled. When selected for Exchange Mailbox Archiver, this option will cause the system to enable all archiving rules (except for the Stub Rules and Leave Behind Message Body for items added to the Archive List in Outlook) for the subclient.

By default, archiving rules are initially disabled. Select this option and configure the rules in this dialog box before performing an Archive Operation. Selecting this option after configuring archiving rules will preserve the current settings.
When archiving rules are disabled for Exchange Mailbox Archiver, the only way to perform migration archiving operations for this subclient is by manually adding messages or items to the archive list through Outlook.
When archiving rules are disabled for Exchange Public Folder Archiver, no data will be archived.

Message Rule

Archive message after n days
Use this space to specify the number of days old that a message or item must be in order for it to be archived. The age of the message or item is determined by the creation time, last modification time, send time or receive time--whichever is the latest.
Archive message only if size is greater than n KB
Use this space to specify the size that a message or item must be in order for it to be archived.
Leave Behind Message Body
If selected, the body of any message that is archived will not be removed when the message is stubbed.
Archive messages with attachment only
If selected, only messages that have attachments will be considered for archiving.
Use either Age or Size rule
Specifies whether archiving will occur if either the Age or Size of the message or item matches the respective rule, and all other applicable archiving rules have been met.
Use Sent/Received time for Age rule
Specifies whether archiving will occur when the sent/received time of the message or item matches the Age rule, and all other applicable archiving rules have been met.
Do Not Archive Unread Messages
Specifies that you do not want to archive unread messages even if the messages qualify for archiving under the Age and/or Size rule.
Include following archiving folders (separated by ;)
Use this space to enter root-level mailbox folder name(s) that you want to archive on the specified subclient. All messages and subfolders contained within the specified folder(s) will also be archived on the subclient. If you are entering more than one folder name in this space, separate the additional entries with a semi-colon (;). For example: Inbox; Sent Items; Drafts

Watermark Rule

Used disk space
Specifies whether the disk space will be checked when a mailbox is examined. The mailbox will be skipped if used disk space is lower that the watermark. The disk drive(s) to be checked are the drive(s) where mailbox database are located.

We do not recommend using only the Used Disk Space watermark as the sole criteria for archiving, as this could result in data being archived unintentionally.
Archive if used disk space reaches n % of total volume
Use this space to specify the used disk space high watermark value. When the Used Disk Space checkbox is selected, the mailbox will be skipped if the used disk space is lower than the value specified here.
Mailbox Quotas
Specifies whether the mailbox high and low watermarks will be examined. If the mailbox used space is higher than the specified value, the mailbox will be scanned.

After the low watermark is met, the scan will be stopped for this mailbox. Mailbox watermarks are checked against the mailbox’s smallest quota among warning quota, stop sending quota, stop sending/receiving quota. If a mailbox’s quota is set to Use Default, the smallest quota of its database will be used. If there is no quota set at the database level, the mailbox will be considered as no quota set. It will be skipped unless the Mailbox Quotas option is unchecked.
Archive if size of mailbox size reaches n % of assigned quota
Use this space to specify the mailbox size high watermark value. When the Mailbox Quotas checkbox is selected, the mailbox will be scanned if the mailbox size is higher than the value specified here.
Stop Archive when mailbox reaches n % of assigned quota
Use this space to specify the mailbox size low watermark value. When the Mailbox Quotas checkbox is selected and the mailbox is scanned, the scan will continue until the estimated mailbox size after archiving is lower than the value specified here.

Stub Rule

Preserve stubs until the media has been pruned
Specifies whether stubs will be allowed to exist in a mailbox or public folder until the media retention time has been met and data aging has been run.
Prune stub only after n days
Specifies that stubs will be pruned after the number of days entered. This value determines the minimum life of a stub.
Do not create stub
Specifies that a stub won’t be created for any archived message or item. When this option is selected, the archived messages/items will be removed from the computer and a stub recovery is not possible. To recover archived messages/items that do not have stubs, perform a Browse and Recovery procedure from the CommCell Console.
Embed the recall link into body
Select this option to recall messages from any mobile device. When this option is enabled, a hyperlink is embedded into the message's body during the stubbing phase. When clicked, the message is automatically recalled into the user's Recovered Items folder irrespective of any other recall locations configured on the Exchange Server.
- OWA server name
Use this space to enter the URL and host name of the server that will perform the recall. For example: https://exchangeservername

Attachment Filter

Specifies file extension(s) for attachments that you want included or excluded from archive operations regardless of the age/size message rules. Some points to keep in mind for filtering message attachments from archive operations. When attachment filters are not specified, the normal age/size rules are applied to attachments to determine whether they qualify for archiving. For example, if you want to archive attachments based on age and/or size instead of file type, then you would leave the filters blank.

Include Attachment Filter:
Displays file extensions for attachments that you want included in migration archiving operations for this subclient, regardless of the age or size rules.

When the Include Attachment Filter is used, it overrides the age/size rules for attachments of the specified type, and archives all attachment types in mailboxes that match the specified pattern regardless of age or size. This is useful for targeting items such as multimedia files to archive them as soon as they are found. For example, you could enter .mp3 as an Include Attachment Filter to archive all mp3 attachments.
Exclude Attachment Filter:
Displays file extensions for attachments that you want excluded from migration archiving operations for this subclient, regardless of the age or size rules.

When the Exclude Attachment Filter is used, it overrides the age/size rules for attachments of the specified type, and excludes from archiving all attachment types in mailboxes that match the specified pattern regardless of age or size. This is useful for preventing the archiving of certain file types (such as .exe, .vb, etc.) that you don't want archived.

Exclude
Click to move the selected Attachment Filters from the Include Attachment Filter pane to the Exclude Attachment Filter pane.

PST

Local PST Location
Specifies whether the archiving of PST files is enabled on this subclient of the Exchange Mailbox Archiver Agent. Use the space to enter the root folder where all the PST directories are located. When enabled, the PST Location entry field allows you to specify the location of the root folder where the PST directories reside, which can either be on a local drive of the Exchange Server or on a network share connected to the Exchange Server. All message, stub and attachment rules will be applied to the PSTs during a PST Archive operation.

Move PST stubs to mailbox

Create a separate parent folder for each PST

Specifies that the PST stubs will be copied/moved into the destination folder maintaining the internal folder structure of the PST and will also be separated into unique folders for each PST imported. If not selected, PST stubs will be copied into the root level of the folder specified as the stub destination folder.
Destination Folder Name in Mailbox

When Copy PST stubs to mailbox or Move PST stubs to mailbox is selected, enter a custom mailbox folder location where the PST stubs will be placed. If the destination folder does not exist, it will be automatically created.
