In the Enterprise Vault Administration Console you define File Archiving policies to control which files are archived. You can apply policies to whole disks (volume policies), or to folders and subfolders (folder policies) as required.
A policy contains one or more rules that you define to select the files you want Enterprise Vault to archive. You can apply the rules in any order, as required. In combination with the other policy settings, the result is that you have a flexible tool to archive precisely what is required.
For example, you can create rules 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 3 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 shortcuts, then create a shortcut for each file 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.
