Description
- Depending on the version of the operating system, the file icon can be slightly faded in appearance or have a small 'x' on it.
- The 'Size on disk' shows as zero bytes.
In a DFS configuration, all file servers should have the Retrieval Service installed. In a failover site, the file servers should have the Retrieval Service installed so that seamless stubs continue to work as expected in a failover scenario.
The Retrieval Service is exclusively used for seamless stubbing and performs the following functions:
- Intercepts the file open command to see if an item is a seamless stub.
- If a requested item is a seamless stub, the Retrieval Service will try to retrieve it from its local cache. If not in the cache, it will download the item from Veritas Alta SaaS Protection and provide it in the request stream.
- If a local cache setting is configured, any retrieved content will be temporarily kept in the cache for a configured time period to optimize any subsequent opens of the same items.
- Cleans items from the local cache according to the retention setting.
