Description

The release command gains space on a managed volume by converting already migrated files to stub files. If the command detects that not enough archived copies exist, the release operation is not performed. For releasing a file both retention times (crt and rrt) and the number of copies (mc) must be fulfilled.

A file smaller than 1024 bytes are not released because replacing it with a stub file does not increase available space on the file server.

Note Excluded files are excluded from statistical summaries.

Also, if a file was released and migrated to multiple archives, it is restored from the last archive to which it was migrated when recalled.
