Chapter 8 Archiving Configurations and Managing Them Using Archive Management
Purging Configurations from the Configuration Archive
Step 5 Specify when to purge configuration files from the archive by selecting one or all of the following purge
policies:
• Click Maximum versions to retain and enter the number of configurations to retain.
• Click Purge versions older than and enter the number of days, weeks, or months.
• Click Purge labeled files to delete the labeled configuration files. See Configuring Labels for
information on labeled files.
The Purge labeled files option must be used either with the Maximum versions to retain or Purge
versions older than options. You cannot use this option without enabling either Maximum versions
to retain or Purge versions older than options.
The labeled files are purged only if they satisfy the conditions given in the Maximum versions to
retain and Purge versions older than options.
The Labeled configuration files are not deleted even if they satisfy either of the purge conditions
(Maximum versions to retain and Purge versions older than) unless you enable the Purge labeled
files option.
Field Description
Scheduling
Run Type You can specify when you want to purge the configuration archive files.
To do this, select one of these options from the drop-down menu:
• Daily—Runs daily at the specified time.
• Weekly—Runs weekly on the day of the week and at the specified time.
• Monthly—Runs monthly on the day of the month and at the specified time.
The subsequent instances of periodic jobs will run only after the earlier instance of the job is complete.
For example, if you have scheduled a daily job at 10:00 a.m. on November 1, the next instance of this
job will run at 10:00 a.m. on November 2 only if the earlier instance of the November 1 job has
completed.
If the 10.00 a.m. November 1 job has not completed before 10:00 a.m. November 2, the next job will
start only at 10:00 a.m. on November 3.
Date You can select the date and time (hours and minutes) to schedule.
