Creating a No-Archive Policy

With a no-archive policy, you create a policy that does not contain any policy copies. Files that meet the file match criteria defined in the no-archive policy are never archived. This set of file match criteria in the policy maps directly to the no_archive set, which you can define by using the Sun SAM command-line interface.

Only one no-archive policy can exist on a server at a time. If one already exists, you cannot create a new one without first deleting the existing one. Alternatively, you can add additional file match criteria to the existing policy if you want to prevent the archiving of additional files.

To create a no-archive policy, follow the directions in How to Create a Policy, and choose to prevent files from being archived in the first step of the New Archive Policy wizard.
