Cloning archive collectors

Last published : Apr 17, 2026
You can create a clone of archive collectors if you want to perform specific operations on an archive collector without disrupting its intended configuration and functions.
The cloned archive collector will keep the same configuration. You can change the configuration of the cloned archive collector as needed. You can create a clone of archive collectors in any state, whether it is idle, incomplete, or completed. The list of monitored users is not fixed. If new users have been added since the last run, the users list may vary, even for the same archive collector. Therefore, it is recommended to synchronize the user list before each run.
To create a clone of existing collector
  1. In the left navigation pane, select Archive Collectors.
The Archive Collector page appears.
  1. Select the archive collector from which you want to create a clone.
  2. Click the kebab icon (three vertical dots) on the archive collector card, and click Clone.
  3. Provide a new unique name and description for the cloned archive collector.
  4. Click Next.
The application displays a notification that cloning is successful.
