Migrate Exchange Mail Archiver into Contentstore Mail Server

Hello,

 

one of our customer want to move away from the Exchange Compliance Archive and the “Offline Contenten Indexing” as a Search Engine infrastructur.

The new solution will be the ContentStore Mail Server - SMTP.

The customer is planing to recall/restore all old mails from the old archiv into the “new” Client to also remove all the old entries of long retiered systems. Another Painpoint is, the old Search Engine hit the next limit (more then 100M object) and it would require a new Node to be added.

Is there any way, to restore the data directly onto the ContentStore Mail Server, or do we need to have the messages restored into the exchange server and push them from there into the Contentstore Mail Server?

Or am I missing any other Option for the migration steps?

Kind Regards

Joerg

Hi Joerg, 

 

You can migrate data that was protected using and CI’d using Compliance Archiver with these steps:

Hi Mike,

 

thank you for the link, but we are looking for a solution, that will also get rid of the old entries of archive systems.

As far as i understand the articel, after the migration we could get rid of the old CI Nodes, but still have to keep the “old archiv” systems in commvault.

Hi Joerg, 

Once the migration is complete, the physical hardware for the Compliance Archiver Agent can be removed.  The client in CV (and jobs of course) need to remain active.
