Duplicate Copy Tab, Storage Profile Definition

A duplicate Archive File has the same file name and extension as the primary, but must be saved to a different directory and volume. Use the Alternate File Directory parameter to provide a path for the duplicate.

Storage Profile Definition with Duplicate Copy as the active tab. The elements of the Duplicate Copy tab are described as follows.

Alternate File Directory

Complete path to a directory for the duplicate Archive File. Click the arrow to select from the drop-down list, or click the browse button to select from your system directories. If you do not provide a path, the duplicate is written to the default Archive Directory specified in Personal Options. (Refer to the Common Elements Manual for information about the default Archive Directory.)

Required WORM Device

Select this check box to indicate that the duplicate Archive File must be retained on a WORM device. If you select this option and the Alternate File Directory path does not point to the selected WORM device, the Archive Process will fail.

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

The minimum period 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.

Note: This setting is available only if the Allow User to alter Minimum Retention check box in Product Options is selected. Otherwise, the default retention period set in Product Options is used.
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 is zero (0).
Days
The number of days (0 to 999) to protect an Archive File from deletion. The default 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.)
