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.

Content Backup Settings

A feature of StoragePoint is the added security of being able to back up the endpoints. The settings must be configured and the timer job must be run for the backup to take place. On the backup endpoint there will be a starting folder with the GUID of the Profile. Within that folder will be more folder structure, depending on whether foldering was enabled on the backup endpoint or not. BLOBs will use their GUID rather than any SharePoint naming conventions, even if those were used in externalization.

info

NOTE: If backup settings are enabled, and the backup has not been run, Unused BLOB Cleanup will not delete the unused BLOBs from the primary endpoint that meet the retention settings of the backup service.

info

NOTE: If a new profile is being created, Save the profile before running any backup jobs.

Click the arrow to expand the Backup Settings on the Storage Profile screen.
