Archive Files Using SRM Reports
Archiver Integration with SRM is a powerful feature that allows you to define some very specific rules for archiving specific files and directories. It combines the powerful SRM Reporting capability with Schedule Actions to initiate archive operations. Run Data Archiver is one of the actions available when scheduling SRM Reports that can be used for Archiving specific data. This can further be set using Filters to select only the files that need to be sent for Archiving.
SRM Archiver Integration provide the following features:
- SRM Windows File System Agent - File Level Analytics must be selected for the subclient and a Data Collection job must be run.
- File Archiver for Windows Agent - an On Demand Archive set must also be configured on the Agent.
