Exchange Server Archiver - 3.0
Learning Exchange Server Archiver - 3.0
Changing the archive mode
The archive mode that Exchange Server Archiver uses when any messages are archived is displayed in the Admin Console.

You can change the archive mode, if required. For example, if you have been evaluating Exchange Server Archiver using the 'copy only' mode Copy entire message, you may want to change it to Full archive so that archived messages and attachments are removed from the Exchange server.
When you change the archive mode, the new mode will be used by all existing rules on all servers, from the time at which you change the mode.
To change the archive mode, on the Archiving menu, click Set Archive Mode.

When you select the archive mode you require and click Next, you are prompted to schedule a 'tidy up' task. This task will process all messages that have been archived previously so that they are in a state in Exchange that is consistent with the new archive mode.
For example, if you change the mode from Copy entire message to Full archive, for each message that has been previously copied the tidy up task will:
- create a message placeholder and remove the message body from the Exchange server
- remove any attachments from the Exchange server, and create links to the attachments in the placeholder
The tidy up task may take some time (depending upon the number of messages that need to be processed). You can create a schedule for the task immediately, or you can choose to set up the task later using Schedule Tasks, Tidy Up on the Maintenance menu; an alert is created to remind you.
Note that if messages or attachments are copied back to the Exchange server (for example, if you are changing from Full archive to Copy entire message), you will lose single-instance storage on the Exchange server.
