Cause

This could be caused by the IMAP access to an EV Enabled database. Once an IMAP access has occurred the restore stops working properly.
 

As a temporary workaround the following command could be run against the affected EV Mailbox database

Load convert -e- mail\.nsf

This will disable the NSF support for IMAP for the specific databases allowing the restore functionality to work properly, whenever the database is being accessed by a client IMAP again and a restore is needed the same command is supposed to be run again.

Resolution

This issue has been addressed as part of the following release:


Enterprise Vault 9.0.4 

Enterprise Vault 10.0.2
