Emptying the trash from an extensible storage location

Emptying the trash from an extensible storage location

NOTE:  By default, the Trash feature is enabled on a DS-System. You can configure this option with the TrashSwitch advanced configuration parameter. (See: “Configuring the advanced settings”.)

If the trash feature is enabled, files deleted from an extensible storage location are always moved to that location’s trash folder. From the end user (backup customer) perspective, the data has been deleted. However, from a service provider perspective, this provides an additional period of time before that “deleted” data is completely removed from the DS-System.

Because of this behavior, it is necessary for the DS-System administrator to regularly clean the trash folders, according to the service provider’s Empty Trash policy.

To empty the trash from a storage location on demand:

1.On the Setup menu, click Storage, and then click Extensible Storage.

2.Select an extensible storage location and click Empty Trash.

Select how old the deleted data must be to qualify for delete.

You can change the number of additional threads used by the empty trash process, if required.

3.Click Empty Trash to proceed.
