Constraints - Options window

Use the Options tab to define alerts for files based on characteristics other than file type and file owner and to view a where clause that will be used as a filter for locating files that violate the Constraint definition.

Alert on Files

Use this section to define alerts for files based on characteristics other than file type and file owner.

Field Name

Description

not accessed in the last ## days

Check this box and enter a length of time (in days) in which files have not been accessed. When the Constraint job locates a file that has not been accessed in the length of time you indicated in this field, an alert is triggered.

bigger than ## ??

Check this box and enter a file size that should trigger an alert. When the Constraint job locates a file of the size (or greater) that you indicated in this field, an alert is triggered.

set-UID root

Check this box trigger alerts on files that have the SET-UID root bit "on" (because this can be a security consideration).

modified more than ## days ago and not backed up (Windows only)

Check this box and enter the number of days since a file was last modified and not backed up. When the Constraint job locates a file that was modified and not backed up in the amount of days that you indicate in this field, an alert is triggered.

File Filter Text

This section displays a where clause that will be used as a filter for locating files that violate the Constraint definition. The choices you make on this tab and the choices you made on the Users and File Type tabs are reflected in the content of this where clause.

To edit the where clause filter text, click the Edit Filter button on the right of the tab. This will allow you to create new where conditions and groupings using the where clause interface.
