WORM
A WORM device is used, but no retention period is defined. The WORM Device Minimum File Retention options will not be available.

WORM Device Minimum File Retention

Override settings for the minimum period set in Product Options for retaining Archive Files on a WORM device. The minimum retention period is measured from the time the Archive Process copies the file to the device. After the minimum retention period expires, the file can be deleted. This setting is available only if the Allow User to alter Minimum Retention check box on the Archive tab in Product Options is selected.

Interval
Protect an Archive File from deletion for a specified period after the file is generated. When you select Interval, the Years and Days boxes become available. You can enter a number of years, days, or a combination of both.
Note: The interval cannot exceed the maximum date, 01/17/2071. Archive checks the interval when you save the Storage Profile and when you run the Archive Process.
Years
The number of years to protect an Archive File from deletion. The default value is zero (0).
Days
The number of days (0 to 999) to protect an Archive File from deletion. The default value is zero (0).
Maximum
Use the maximum date, 01/17/2071.
None
Do not use a minimum retention period; allow an Archive File to be deleted from the device at any time.
Note: If Litigation Hold is set for an Archive File stored on a Hitachi Content Archive Platform (HCAP) WORM device, you cannot delete the Archive File from storage, regardless of the file retention setting. (See Litigation Hold for information on this feature.)
