File Blocking

On NTFS file servers and NetApp file servers you can configure the File Blocking feature.

The File Blocking feature enables you to do the following:

Limit users' disk space by monitoring and enforcing disk usage policies in real time.
Prevent unwanted files from being saved on monitored server volumes.

You configure File Blocking within a volume policy and then apply that policy to disk volumes. It is also possible for a File System Archiving task to process the volumes, but there is no requirement to do this.

See File Blocking configuration.
