How to Setup and Run a Migration Archive Operation
This section discusses archive information specific to the Domino Mailbox Archiver Agent. See Archiving Operations for a general overview.
During both migration and compliance archive operations, the Domino Mailbox Archiver Agent will archive subclient content (i.e., client or journaling mailbox messages) that meet the preset criteria specified in the Archiving Rules dialog box.
The following sections describe each of the archiving rules available for the Domino Mailbox Archiver Agent, as well as the criteria required for migration archiving and compliance archiving scenarios.
The following section provides the steps to set up and run a Migrate Archive Operation:
By default, this option is disabled. When selected, all archiving rules will be enabled except for Stub Rules. |
For migration archiving scenarios, it is strongly recommended that the Do Not Create Stub rule in the Archive Rules | Stub Rule tab remain deselected. This configuration ensures that users can recover any migrated messages by double-clicking the stub icon created during the archive process. If you choose not to create a stub for archive messages by selecting the Do Not Create Stub option, you must manually browse for any archived messages.
To ensure that only successfully archived messages will be changed into stubs, the archive operation is divided into two phases. The stubbing phase starts after the archive phase succeeds. However, stubs will only be created if the subclient properties were configured to create them during the archive operation. In the archive phase, the Domino Mailbox Archiver Agent will archive the messages/items meeting the pre-set archive criteria and, if applicable, put them into a list for the stubbing phase and prune expired stubs.
Compliance Archiving operations for the Domino Server journaling mailbox follow the same process as migration archiving operations with the following special requirements and configurations:
From the Domino Server:
From the CommCell Console:
Use Operate in Backfill Mode option, if
you have to archive and content index mail messages that existed
before journaling was enabled.
For step-by-step instructions, see Operate in Backfill Mode. |
Before performing any migration procedures, review the following information:
Note that any folder selected for inclusion will automatically include any subfolders within that folder.
Note that the Mark docs read when opened in preview pane option should be deselected in the Lotus Notes client's User Preferences.
Filters can be used in conjunction with the "Items That Failed" list on the data protection Job History Report to eliminate backup or archive failures by excluding items which consistently fail that are not integral to the operation of the system or applications. Some items fail because they are locked by the operating system or application and cannot be opened at the time of the data protection operation. This often occurs with certain system-related files and database application files.
The Domino Mailbox Archiver Agents provides three modes which further direct how archive and recovery operations behave for each subclient. These modes can be selected using the General tab of the Subclient Properties dialog box and should be configured prior to running the first archive operation.
See Operation Modes for more information.
An alternative method of discovering the replicated databases is by using the sSCANADDITIONALDIRECTORIES registry key. When configured, the Domino Mailbox Archiver Agent will scan any directories specified in the registry key and automatically assign any databases contained within those directories to the subclient.
