Ordering archive copies of a VDR | VDRPro

Archives can be ordered in the following formats. Compliance archives and data only archives can be ordered in any format.

• Downloadable archive - These archives can be in VHD format for Windows 10 or newer computers or ZIP format for Windows, Macintosh or Linux computers. This format is useful for users who do not have administrator rights to their computer. Note that to open a ZIP file, you must have available space on your computer that is three times the size of the ZIP file.
• Physical shipped USB/Hard drive archive - Your archive is shipped to you on a USB drive, or a hard drive if the archive is very large. These archives can be in VHD or ZIP format.
• DealVault Secure Storage - Archives are stored in the cloud where they can be securely accessed, making it easy to analyze, collaborate on and unarchive entire VDRs. You can view, search, download, and move files and folders, rehydrate an entire archive to create a new VDR, and manage all of your archives in a central place. Note: A DealVault subscription is required to use this format.

Note: The archive format cannot be changed after an archive has been generated, burned or shipped/delivered. If you have placed an order for the incorrect format and it has already been generated, you must place a new archive order for the desired format.

For information about the cost of an archive, check your Intralinks contract or contact your sales representative.

If you select Include (Compliance Archive), the archive will contain all the information that can be found on the VDR, including folders, documents, Q&A comments (if Q&A is being used), reports, and audit history for all users and groups based on the role and permissions of the selected person’s viewpoint.
