PowerProtect Data Manager 19.16 for Cyber Recovery User Guide

Setting up a maintenance schedule

Configure a cleaning schedule to delete alerts, events, expired and unlocked copies, DR backups, and jobs when they are no longer needed.

1. From the Masthead Navigation, click to access the System Settings list.
2. Select Maintenance.
3. To modify the default cleaning schedule, from the Cleaning Schedule tab:
   1. Specify the frequency for when the schedule runs, the time that the schedule runs next, and the age of the objects to delete.
      NOTE:The Cyber Recovery UI uses the same time zone as the Cyber Recovery management host for the scheduled time.

      The Delete unlocked copies older than field affects locked and unlocked copies differently. An unlocked copy is deleted after the set number of days. A locked copy is deleted after the set number of days after the retention lock expires. For example, a copy is retention-locked for 14 days and the Delete unlocked copies older than field is set to 7 days. After 14 days, the file is unlocked and then after 7 days it is deleted. That is, after 21 days, the copy is deleted.

   2. Click Save.
   The cleaning operation runs using the values that you defined in the cleaning schedule.
4. To run the cleaning schedule on demand, from the Clean Now tab, click Run Now.
   The cleaning operation runs immediately, using the values that you defined in the cleaning schedule. An informational message indicates that the job has started and provides a View Jobs link that redirects you to the System Jobs content pane.
