Use the Retention Policy tab to
provide parameters for automatic deletion of the primary copy of the
Archive File. A retention policy is effective only for Archive Files
that reside on an Optim™ Server.
A retention policy does not protect Archive
Files from manual deletion (for example, by using Windows Explorer or Archive Directory Maintenance).
After creating an Archive File, you can postpone or
cancel the automatic deletion using the Archive Directory Information
dialog. For more information, see Update Directory Entry.
Automatically Delete File
Options to automatically delete the primary copy of
the Archive File.
Note: Options to delete the primary Archive
File do not affect the management of duplicate Archive Files.
- Delete After
- Select this check box to automatically delete Archive
Files created using the Storage Profile.
- Days
- The number of days (1 to 36600) to retain the primary
copy of the Archive File. The number of days to retain the Archive
File is calculated from the date when the Archive File was created.
Suspend Auto Delete
The option
to automatically delete the primary copy of an Archive File can be
overridden with the Suspend Auto Delete utility. A functional privilege
makes this option available to users. From the Utilities menu, select
Archive to
display the submenu that includes
Suspend Auto Delete.
This option will be unavailable if you are not authorized to use it.
Click to enable
Suspend Auto Delete. When enabled,
this option prevents any Archive File in the current Optim Directory
from being automatically deleted. In addition, any Archive Files created
while
Suspend Auto Delete is in effect are
also prevented from being automatically deleted.
Note: Suspend
Auto Delete does not protect Archive Files from manual
deletion.
Once enabled, Suspend Auto Delete remains
in effect until an authorized user clicks the option to unselect it.
