Question

Four weeks ago, you exported data from Google Vault and emailed the PST export file to your legal admin. They accidentally deleted the PST file and need it sent again. What steps should you take to re-send the PST file to the legal admin?

A. Return to the Google Vault export page, and download the ZIP file again.
B. Return to the Email Log Search page, and download the PST file again.
C. Ask the legal admin to return to Google Vault to download the PST file again.
D. Repeat the original search for the original timeframe, and export the data again.

Answer

D. Repeat the original search for the original timeframe, and export the data again.

Explanation

Options A and B are incorrect because neither the Google Vault export page nor the Email Log Search page retains past exports for download.
Option C is also incorrect as legal admins typically wouldn’t have direct access to Google Vault to download exports themselves.
Option D is the only viable solution. By repeating the original search and export process, you can generate a new PST file containing the required data for the legal admin.
