- The Vaultastic Open Store is a store where you are preserving data in form of compressed data files such as PST files and ZIP files.
- To search for and extract data within the files stored on the Open Store, use the following steps
- Identify the data file using the file name or last modified date and fetch it. Filenames on the Open Store should have information that will help you identify the users/source with which the data is associated and also the time period.
- Locate the data using the content-list or meta data file.
- For data uploaded to the Open Store using LegacyFlo requests, a CSV file is generated in addition to the compressed data file.
- This CSV file has the list of contents of the corresponding data file.
- The content-list files have the same name as the associated data files and have the .csv extension.
- For a data file with emails (such as EML ZIP or PST), the content-list file will have the date, sender, recipient and subject for each mail within the data file.
- For a ZIP file having files from sources such as GDrive or OneDrive, the content list will have the file details such as name, size, etc.
- Search through the content list by clicking on the Eye icon shown next to the file.
- Once you have identified the file containing the data you are looking for, there are multiple methods of extracting or downloading the data as mentioned in the table below.
| Method | Factors determining the time to search for the data |
|---|---|
| Method 1 (recommended) Select the files you wish to download and click on the Extract button on the viewer. The system will prompt you to enter the parameters required to fire a LegacyFlo job to extract the required data. The extracted data will be available for download from the Open Store. |
|
Method 2 You can log into LegacyFlo and submit one or more extract requests. The extracted data will be available on the Open Store for easy download |
|
Method 3 For PST or EML in ZIP files, you can create a temporary vault on the Active Store and move the contents of the file to that vault and use the eDiscovery app to search through the data |
|
Method 4 For PST or EML in ZIP files, download the data file to your desktop and import it to an email client such as Thunderbird / Outlook or any other software to search through it. |
|
| Method 5 For any other ZIP file, download the data file to your desktop and unzip it to get the data. |
