About managing safety copies and backups
Enterprise Vault manages safety copies based on partition backups. After a partition backup finishes, the backup product informs Enterprise Vault that the backup has completed successfully. Enterprise Vault then deletes the safety copy. Enterprise Vault accepts notification from the backup product through the partition secure notification file or by the archive bit of the files in the partition. You can configure Enterprise Vault to accept either method of notification to determine if the files in the partition have been backed up.
