Default deletion policy

Examples of a configured deletion policy

The following are two excerpts from FSE partition configuration files. They show examples of the configured deletion policies for various platforms of the FSE client, and their explanations.

Linux specific

[Delete]

FileExpiration "UNLIMITED"

{

Path = (/archive/permanent_files)

}

FileExpiration "2D"

{

Path = ("/tmp/daily reports", /tmp/temporary)

}

This deletion policy will have the following effect:

•All files in the directory /archive/permanent_files on the owning HSM file system will never be considered for deletion.

•All files in the directories "/tmp/daily reports" and /tmp/temporary are to be considered for deletion as soon as two days have passed since they were last changed.

Windows specific

[Delete]

FileExpiration "1M"

{

Path = (\Months\Current, "\Arch\June 2004")

}

FileExpiration "7D"

{

Path = (\Weeks\Current, "\Arch\Week 24")

}

This deletion policy will have the following effect:

•All files in the directories \Months\Current and "\Arch\June 2004" on the owning HSM file system are to be considered for deletion as soon as one month has passed since they were last changed.

•All files in the directories \Weeks\Current and "\Arch\Week 24" are to be considered for deletion as soon as seven days have passed since they were last changed.

By default, deletion policy is not configured.

Part of the FSE partition configuration template that includes the disabled deletion policy parameters is depicted in ”Template for FSE partitions - Deletion part” on page 306.
