PowerScale OneFS 9.2.1.0 CloudPools Administration Guide

Use time stamps for cloud data archival and recall

Use time matching patterns (creation, modification, last access) when you archive data to and recall data from the cloud. This enables more efficient archival and recall operations, therefore better performance.

When you create a file pool policy for archiving data to the cloud, several of the file-matching criteria involve time:

• Created
• Accessed
• Modified

Therefore, you can specify file-matching criteria that specify when the files were created, when files were last accessed, or when they were last modified.

CloudPools can also more efficiently recall files based on time stamps.
