The document rules are split between three tabs - General, User, and Type. An "AND" condition is applied to the rules in each tab. The criteria in all three tabs must be satisfied collectively before documents are archived. |
Options provided on this tab allow you to establish the general criteria that will determine which documents will be moved to secondary storage. The criteria configured below is used with the User and Type criteria collectively to determine if documents are archived.
Use this space to Enter the number of days elapsed (i.e., the age of the file) since the last Modified Time of each document, in order for the document to be archived. For example, if you entered a value of 30 days, then all documents older than 30 days in the scanned library will be archived.

Archiving and stub recovery operations change the Modified Time on documents. |
Use this space to Enter the document size (in kilobytes) a document must be in order for the document to be archived. If a document size within a scanned library is greater than this value, then it will be archived. For example, if you entered a value of 50 KB, then all documents greater than 50 KB in the scanned library will be archived.
Use this space to Enter the number of versions that will be subtracted from the current version in order to archive the document . The number specified here is how many versions of the document that are counted back from the current version. For example, if you entered a value of 3 and the current version of the document is 5, then all documents from version 2 and earlier are archived.
