About File archiving policies
In the Enterprise Vault Administration Console you define File archiving policies to control which files are archived by FSA. You can apply policies to whole disks (volume policies), or to folders and subfolders (folder policies) as required.
A policy contains one or more archiving rules that you define to select the files you want Enterprise Vault to archive. You can apply the archiving rules in any order, as required. In combination with the other policy settings, the result is that you have a flexible mechanism to archive precisely what is required.
For example, you can create archiving policies that do the following:
Start archiving when the volume is 80% full and continue until the volume is 60% full.
Archive all files older than 30 days except Hidden and System files.
Archive *.zip and *.avi files that are older than three days and larger than 20 MB.
Delete *.bak files that have not been accessed in the last week, without archiving them.
Archive *.doc files and do not create a shortcut for each file until one month after it was last modified.
A number of predefined file groups are available to enable you to quickly add the required file types to the policy.
File System Archiving can archive all file types. However, some file types such as executable files and .PST files are not suitable candidates for file archiving. The Default Volume Policy and Default Folder Policy include archiving rules that you can use to exclude unsuitable file types from archiving and shortcut creation. For more details, see Setting up File System Archiving.
