Cold Storage Schemas

Create a cold storage schema in a vault to automatically move or delete older file versions from the vault archives. You can opt to set up a schema for all files in the vault or for files under specific folders only.

A schema can specify that project folders contain the most recent versions of a file only and that older versions are deleted from the archive. After deletion, version history is retained. You cannot copy a version from cold storage back to the archive server.

When a vault is replicated, each replicated server processes cold storage separately. If you want to cold store older files on replicated servers, you must create a cold storage schema for each server.
  • Creating a Cold Storage Schema
  • Example of Using Cold Storage
    This example demonstrates a cold storage schema that keeps the five most recent versions of files in the vault and moves older file versions from the archive to cold storage.
  • Cold Storage Schema Dialog Box
    Use this dialog box to handle older files and versions. You can move these files to cold storage outside the vault archives. You can also delete older files. You can perform these actions together or independently.
