About Vault Cache and Virtual Vault

A Vault Cache is a local copy of a user's Enterprise Vault archive. The Vault Cache is maintained on the user's computer by the Enterprise Vault Outlook Add-In.

The main functions of Vault Cache are as follows:

  • It makes Virtual Vault available to users, if you choose to enable Virtual Vault.

  • It lets offline users open archived items from Enterprise Vault shortcuts.

  • It lets offline users view their archives in offline Archive Explorer.

Virtual Vault integrates a view of the user's archive into the Outlook Navigation Pane. To users, a Virtual Vault looks like a mailbox or a personal folder, and it behaves in much the same way. For example, users can open archived items and drag and drop items to and from the Virtual Vault.

Vault Cache and Virtual Vault

The user can synchronize archives other than their primary mailbox archive to the Vault Cache, if they have the necessary permissions. Each archive that is synchronized to a Vault Cache has its own Virtual Vault, if Virtual Vault is enabled. In Virtual Vault, access to archives other than the user's primary mailbox archive is read-only.

The actions that users can perform in Virtual Vault include the following:

  • View, forward, and reply to archived items

  • After opening an email to send from Outlook, drag and drop items from Virtual Vault into the email to send them as attachments

  • Search the Virtual Vault with Outlook Instant Search, Outlook Advanced Find, or Windows Desktop Search

  • Delete items and folders

  • Move items between folders, and reorganize folders

  • Archive items using drag and drop

  • Move items into Virtual Vault using Outlook rules

Note:

The Vault Cache feature is not available to users of the Enterprise Vault Client for Mac OS X.
