Upload from a mailbox to Vaultastic V4 Open store

Overview


  • The Open Store of Vaultastic Version 4 is where you can upload data files.
  • These files can remain on the Open Store till you download them or copy the data to Active Store for discovery.
  • There are multiple ways you can upload data files to the Open Store. These methods are highlighted in the topic here.
  • This topic discusses the method of using LegacyFlo to upload data from mailboxes using LegacyFlo.

Prepare the SOURCE SERVER to allow access to LegacyFlo

Before using LegacyFlo to access email data from source servers using the IMAP protocol or via the mail server API, confirm the following

Prerequisites for all mail servers

  1. The emails to be migrated are available in the mailboxes hosted on the source server. Emails that have been downloaded using the POP protocol and deleted from the server, cannot be migrated using this option.
  2. You should have the rights and the capability to reset the passwords on the source in order to access the mailboxes OR should be able to delegate the access.
  3. If the source server is hosted at your own premises, you have provisioned sufficient Internet bandwidth to transfer the mailbox data. (This will not apply to SkyConnect, Vaultastic, O365, Yahoo, or GSuite.)
  4. The source email service provider should allow large emails downloaded via IMAP/API without any throttling. 
  5. Your email service provider supports IMAP or API access to mailboxes. You have configured your email server to allow IMAP or API  access as mentioned in the sections below.

Set-ImapSettings -SuppressReadReceipt $false cmdlet
  1. Delegate access for O365 mailboxes (to be done for all mailboxes to be migrated)

Migrate data to the Open Store 

Once the preparation is done, you can start the migration by submitting migration requests to LegacyFlo. 

Note: This step has to be executed for each mailbox to be migrated.

The request type used to submit a LegacyFlo request will depend on the source type. The table below gives the details of the preparation and request parameters for different source types:
