how to change file archive names?

Hi,

I have a customer archiving lots of shares on a file server.
Due to this, we saw that several archives have been created with the same name (archive explorer, search, archives in VAC).
For example, we have 3 archives named "Logs".
This is very confusing for the end-users, as they don't know in which archive they have to search.

I already changed some entries in the SQL databases (archive display names, ...) to check if the display names for the archives could be changed ... and yeah , this was working.

But ... when I check today, the initial archives names are back.

Can this be solved?

Cheers,

Rudy

I believe this is expected

I believe this is expected behavior. The names of the archives for FSA are generated from the names of the physical folders in the shared folder.
If you want to change the name of the archive, you need to change the name of the folder that the archive represents.
I thinkBy creating customize EVArchivePoints.XML, might resolve the problem but not sure ...

If this response answers your concern, please mark it as a "solution"
