About Enterprise Vault quiescence before a backup

To back up an Open partition or Index location, Enterprise Vault needs to be quiesced before the backup job starts.

Note:

Enterprise Vault uses three terms to define quiescence. Those three terms are read-only mode, backup mode, and quiescence. These terms are used interchangeably in reference to Enterprise Vault.

See About quiescing and unquiescing Enterprise Vault services.

See About granular quiescence.
