Policy Type Action
Migrate
Moves files from one location to another.
When migrating from tape media, files are marked as deleted,
not actually deleted until the media is reused and files are
overwritten. This enables migration jobs to finish in a timely
manner.
Duplicate
Copies files from one Vault to another, retaining the original stored
copy.
Purge
Permanently deletes files from the Information Repository. When you
select Purge for files on a unit of tape media, a flag indicating that the
files on the tape are "deleted" is logged in the database log index.
However, the files are not actually removed from the tape until you run
Erase Selected Media and media is reused and files are
overwritten. In contrast, files on hard disk media are purged
immediately.
Do not run purge policies on critical data that you might want to
preserve. Once data is purged, it is gone forever.
Ensure the policy is active, or de-select the Active check box if you do not want the policy to
run. When the Active check box is de-selected, the symbol is superimposed over the
policy icon in the Policy Name pane.
Click OK . The window closes, the policy name and description appear in the Policy Name
pane.
