Older versions of archived files

File System Archiving version pruning enables you to control the number of versions of files that are stored in Enterprise Vault archives.

When an archived file is recalled and modified, Enterprise Vault will archive the new version. This means that there are now two versions of the file in the archive. Each time a file is recalled and modified, subsequent archiving means that another version of the file is stored in the archive.

Pruning is the process of deleting the earlier versions of archived files. It is configured in the property settings for the File System Archiving task.
