Dear Team,

 

I am planning to perform an email restore for one of the users from the Compliance Server. I noticed an option during the process—could you please explain what will happen if this option is enabled or disabled?

 

 

Regards,

Mani D

Hi Mani,

 

If you want to restore only the actual message, select the Remove journal report if it exists on restore check box. The journal report is then removed when the message is restored.

 

On the topic of journal reports…

 

A journal report is the message that's recorded by journaling. The journal report contains the original message as an unaltered file attachment. The body of the journal report contains summary information from the original message (for example, the sender's email address, message subject, Message-ID, and recipient email addresses).
