Archiver Work Queue Management

The values in this section control when eligible files are copied to archive media. If more than one of these values is set, the first condition that is met causes archiving to begin.

If no values are set in this section and continuous archiving is enabled, files are copied to archive media based on the archive interval. For more information, see About Continuous Archiving.

If no values are set in this section and continuous archiving is not enabled, files are copied to archive media when the file system scan is completed.

The following table describes the menus and fields in the Archiver Work Queue Management section of the Policy Copy Details page.
