Use the Retention Policy tab to provide parameters for automatic deletion of the primary copy of the Archive File. A retention policy is effective only for Archive Files that reside on an Optim™ Server.
A retention policy does not protect Archive Files from manual deletion (for example, by using Windows Explorer or Archive Directory Maintenance).
After creating an Archive File, you can postpone or cancel the automatic deletion using the Archive Directory Information dialog. For more information, seeUpdate Directory Entry.
