Chapter 9 Managing Media

StorNext User’s Guide 230
Cleaning Media 9This function allows you to clean a file system, policy class, or media.
Periodic cleaning helps prevent inactive information from growing to an
unmanageable size. When you run this function, the StorNext Storage
Manager removes inactive files that have not been accessed since the
specified endtime. This process does not affect current file versions on the
media.
1From the SNSM home page, choose Clean from the Media menu. The
Clean Media screen appears.
