Barracuda Networks 4 manual Policy-Based Security

Policy-Based Security

Data retention policies allow you to specify the retention of selected files or broader data based on daily, weekly, monthly or annual time intervals. You can create multiple retention policies for different types of data:

•Files;

•Data backed up by the Barracuda Backup Agent (Exchange, SQL, system state); and

•Email messages.

Retention policies are the only way to purge data. Data cannot be deleted directly by a user.
