Best practices for the Enterprise Vault Agent

Last published : Apr 02, 2026
Veritas recommends the following best practices when you use the Agent for Enterprise Vault (Enterprise Vault Agent).
  • Back up the Enterprise Vault Directory database after you make any configuration changes in Enterprise Vault.
  • Restore the Enterprise Vault Directory database in a separate Backup Exec restore job.
  • Restore all Full, Differential, and Incremental backup sets of the vault store database in a single restore job.
  • Do not allow the backup window and archive window to overlap.
  • Do not allow the backup window and the migration window to overlap.
  • Make sure Enterprise Vault components are not in Backup mode before you back up the Enterprise Vault Directory database.
  • If you install both the Veritas Backup Exec NDMP feature and the Enterprise Vault Agent, pick only one product to protect an Enterprise Vault partition that resides on NDMP filers.
  • Do not change the recovery model of any database that is created by Enterprise Vault. Enterprise Vault configures each database in full recovery mode when it creates them.
