The File Parameters screen of the Migrate / Store wizard allows you to configure filters to select the files to migrate or store.

Figure 77 The File Parameters screen of the Migrate / Store wizard.

Select whether to Scan before Migrate / Store or to Use Last Scan to determine the files to migrate / store.

•

Scan before Migrate / Store — Perform a new scan, and then migrate files that meet the specified criteria for age and size. Use this option if a prior scan result is not available, if it has been a long time since the latest scan, or if there has been a large content change in the storage location. This is the default.

•

Use Last Scan — Migrate files that meet the specified criteria for age and size based on the most recent scan result.

Notes:

•

If no previous scans are available for the working directory, this option is not available.

•

If there is a previous scan for one or more sub-directories of the working directory, this option is available, but only the files in the scanned directories are considered for migration.

•

Only files present in the working directory when the prior scan executed are considered for migration.

From the Object Age drop-down, select the age of files to include or, if desired, select Custom (days). If you selected Custom (days), enter the number of days. All files older than the entered number of days are included.

Notes:

Object Age is determined using the configured Method to determine file age. See Configure Global Settings for more information.

Only those objects meeting the Object Age and the Object Size requirements are included.
