Copying back archived messages

You may want to copy previously archived messages back to the Exchange server if:

Note that when you select a mailbox to be copied back, the copy-back task overrides any archive rules that have been applied and the mailbox will not be archived.

When you copy back messages to the Exchange server, the archived messages remain in the Archive Store; the size of the Archive Store is, therefore, not reduced.

Single-instance storage in Exchange is lost for messages that have been copied back. However, if you re-archive the messages, Exchange Server Archiver uses single-instance storage in the Archive Stores.

Archived messages for which you have deleted the placeholders in Exchange are not copied back.

To copy back:

  1. On the Maintenance menu, click Copy Back to Exchange.
  2. Choose the mailboxes for which you want to copy back archived messages.
  3. Set up a schedule for the copy-back task.

    The copy-back task may take a long time to complete, therefore you can set up a schedule for the task.

To cancel the copy back task, open the Copy Back to Exchange dialog box, and clear the check boxes for the mailboxes that you do not want to copy back.
