Customize Smart Archive retention policy

[rwagnon]

We would like the Smart Archive to keep:

1 copy per day this week.
1 copy per friday this month.
1 copy per month forever.

in place of the default:

1 copy per 5min this hour.
1 copy per hour this day.
1 copy per day this month.
1 copy per month forever.

The default scheme is excellent for small data sets, but ours are 10-100GB and we can't keep that much storage online.

I second the request to allow for customizing the Smart Archive schedule.

I agree either, customising the smart archive would be a nice feature!

To customize the smart archive feature and make it still simple to use maybe ViceVersa could have a list of options that can be set Yes/No. I mean:

1 copy per 5min this hour. (Yes/No) --> Always set to yes in current smart archive
1 copy per hour this day. (Yes/No) --> Always set to yes in current smart archive
1 copy per day this week. (Yes/No) --> New Option
1 copy per week this month. (Yes/No) --> New Option
1 copy per month forever. (Yes/No) --> Always set to yes in current smart archive

Remove the option 1 copy per day this month, replaced 1 copy per day this week.

What do you think?

Well i dont know for rwagnon but i think its a really good idea to use switches (eg: on-off) for smart archive customisation.

Keep up good work Tgrmn!

BTW: is there a new version of vv pro2 planned soon? (newer than 2.0.0.9)

[TGRMN Software]

Yes, build 2010 will be released soon. It will be a free upgrade and will contain a few bug fixes and some improvements in archiving, but it will not contain customization for smart archiving yet.
