#Microsoft archiver archive
We call this data ghosted content within the archive mailbox location and we keep a copy for 30 days to provide us (and you) with a safety net in the service in case we run into any issues during the data move from main archive to the auxiliary archive.Īfter that period expires we flush the data in the main archive to release the space. The 30-day period is the retention period for data that has been moved from the main archive to the auxiliary archive. This question comes up a lot and can be confusing, but technically, archives are expanded as soon as the managed folder assistant is able to successfully run on the main archive that has reached the transition size (90GB). Why do I need to wait 30 days for expansion to take place? This is the size threshold of the main archive at which we will start provisioning new auxiliary archives (“Additional storage” in the illustration above) and start moving content from the main archive to the auxiliary archive. The important value for our customers is essentially called the transition threshold. We have a few values that we track on the Main Archive within this feature.

It’s essentially a component that provides our customers the ability to grow their mailbox archives over the normal 100GB quota limit. For example - there have been a few cases that we saw where customers enabled auto-expanding archives, but no archiving policies have been configured for the user. Think of this as a FAQ on the subject.īefore we get going, I strongly advise folks to understand Message Records Management concepts like retention policies and tags. I’d like to clear up some of the misconceptions and answer some of the most frequently asked questions we get on this subject. In recent months we’ve been receiving quite a few questions from customers regarding auto-expanding archives.
