Archiving Selected Documents - Data Loss!?!

Dear all, i appreciate your help in resolving the following problem:

Scenario:

  • Archive Policies enabled for Server->Server archiving

  • Configuration “copy old documents into archive database, then clean up database” is used

  • Users have only READER access to archive (controlled via scheduled agent)

Problem:

When user selects 1(or more) document(s) in his mail file + use “Actions\Archive\Archive Selected documents” the client can not write to the Archive, however documents are deleted from the local mail file!!!

Result : DATA LOSS !

The status bar does display:

“0 docs archived, 1 docs deleted”

Q: What can be done to avoid users to lose data?

Unfortunately changing access rights in the archive is not an option.

Then I guess archiving is not an option either, is it? How is the user supposed to add documents to a database if they have no rights to add documents to the database?
