Moving an Archive Store

You may want to move an Archive Store, for example because the current disk is running out of space.

Archive Stores are uniquely identified using GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers). Therefore, when you move a store, existing rules that archive to the store will automatically find it in its new location.

You are recommended to keep the Archive Stores on the same computer as their host Storage Service; if you move an Archive Store to a computer that is remote from the Storage Service, this may affect performance and reliability.

To move an Archive Store:

  1. If a Storage Service is not installed on the new server, on the Maintenance tab click Install Service and install the service.

    For more information about installing a Storage Service, see Installing the services and components.

    Install Service

  2. On the Maintenance tab, right-click the Archive Store that you are moving and click Detach.
  3. Use your file manager to move the Archive Store folder to the new location on disk.
  4. On the Maintenance tab, right-click the Storage Service on the new server and click Attach Store.
  5. Specify the path to the store's new location, and click OK.
