PowerScale OneFS 9.2.1.0 CloudPools Administration Guide

Archiving files with file pool policies

You can configure a file pool policy to identify the files you want to archive to the cloud and the CloudPools actions to apply to these files.

Specifying a file pool policy, you can archive files using either the OneFS web administration interface or the command-line interface. A file pool policy that archives files to the cloud must specify the following information:

• Files to manage: These can be files of a certain type, files in a specified path, or files that match specified criteria, such as size, creation date, or last modified date.
• CloudPools actions: The cloud storage pool to send file data to, and whether the data should be compressed or encrypted.
