Thanks Wayne,

Should I be removing the shares before I delete the old vault stores after we've succesfully moved the vault stores.

Cheers,
Phil

Hi Wayne,

I wouldn't go that far and understood what you meant so no worries from here.

I do have one last question on the subject. As you can imagine the moving (via copy) of the partitions will take some time so I'm thinking about copying the CLOSED Journal Vault partitions over the course of a couple of days before updating the PartitionEntry table with the new locations. Then on a weekend put EV into read-only and copy the open partitions and make the updates to the PartitionEntry table. Just wondering what your advice might be on this approach.

Thanks in advanced.
Cheers,
Phil

Thanks Wayne,

Now for the last questions :-)

What are your thoughts on using the same approach for the CLOSED Mailbox partitions?

Please be aware we do allow users to delete from their Vault.

I'm thinking it wouldn't be a good idea because if I move a Mailbox partition to new storage, then user does a delete, then I update PartitionEntry table to point to new storage. I'm thinking the deleted item would still be physcially on the new storage but wouldn't have an entry in the Databases resulting in an inconsistent system.

I guess I answered my own question but I do appreciate your advice again if you don't mind.

Thanks again.
Cheers,
Phil
