Externalization Filters

The File Size filter option is available only for asynchronous profiles.
METALO~1_img83

 

The File type filter can only be used if the Endpoint Selection Mode was set to Asynchronous on the Storage Profile page. This setting specifies the types of files that should be (included) or should not be (excluded) externalized to this endpoint.
 

Check the box and select the operator – Is (Include) or Is Not (Exclude). Then enter a comma separated list of file extensions to indicate the file types to include/exclude from externalization.

For example,
METALO~1_img88
would indicate that files with an extension of DOC, DOCX, or XLS should be externalized to this endpoint.

 

The Hierarchical Scope filter can only be used if the Endpoint Selection Mode was set to Asynchronous on the Storage Profile page. This setting specifies the sites, lists, and content types that should be (included) or should not be (excluded) externalized to this endpoint. Click Add Scope and select from the tree view what should or should not be included in the externalization. Nested scopes are not supported.

The Metadata Rules filter can only be used if the Endpoint Selection Mode was set to Asynchronous on the Storage Profile page. This setting can be used to limit what is externalized based on content metadata. Click Add Metadata Rule and define the condition for the rule.

If more than one type of filer is being used, (File Size, File Type, Hierarchical, or Metadata) then there will be an additional toggle added next to each of the filters, to designate the filter as required (AND) or optional (OR). Click the word to toggle from AND to OR.

and or result

IF File Size is one of the filters, and only one of the other three are selected, the condition is AND.

 

Certain endpoints may show an optional checkbox for IMP retention policy promotion.

1.Click OK to complete the Endpoint configuration for this profile.

2.Click the Add Endpoint link and repeat the steps above to add another endpoint.

After all endpoints have been added, use the arrows to set the priority of the storage endpoints. BLOBs will be written to the first storage endpoint that meets the criteria for that BLOB (availability, file size, file type, hierarchical scope, etc.).

Last Access Date

 

METALO~1_img96
This setting must be enabled to use Last Accessed as an Archiving condition. When Yes is selected on an existing profile and the profile is saved, a timer job will populate the field for existing files using the create date. New files will use the upload date until they are accessed.

Choose Yes to have StoragePoint record the most recent date that a document is accessed (uploaded, read or edited.) No is the default setting.

Unused BLOB Retention Policy

METALO~1_img94
This setting indicates how long the Unused BLOB Cleanup Job should retain BLOBs whose parent list items or documents have been removed from SharePoint (i.e. purged from recyclebin, deleted, etc.).

info

NOTE: The default value is 30 days. This value synchronizes well with many backup/restore cycles but may need adjustment. See the section Unused BLOB Cleanup Job Considerations for more information. 

For example, specifying 30 will cause orphaned BLOB files to be removed at least 30 days after being orphaned. The value must be between 1 and 365.

New Profiles – Automatic scheduling of BLOB Health Analyzer and Unused BLOB Cleanup

When creating a new profile, two timer jobs will be displayed with default settings configured, to run weekly. These two timer jobs are critical to keeping SharePoint and StoragePoint functioning smoothly. Additionally, if these two jobs are run at regular intervals, if there are errors, it will not be as burdensome to isolate the cause. These jobs can be edited at any time; during profile creation or after the profile is saved. For more information, see BLOB Health Analyzer or Unused BLOB Cleanup for more information.
