File matching options for cloud archival policies

Each file pool policy must provide match criteria to identify the files to archive and the cloud target where the files should be stored.

The following table describes the match criteria to use when creating file pool policies.

For more information see Use time stamps for cloud data archival and recall.
Accessed	--accessed-time	Includes or excludes files based on when the file was last accessed. You can specify a relative date and time, such as "older than 2 weeks," or a specific date and time, such as "before January 1, 2012." Time settings are based on a 24-hour clock. NOTE:Because it affects performance, access time tracking as a file pool policy criterion is disabled by default.

This option is available only if the global access-time-tracking option of the cluster is enabled. You can specify a relative date and time, such as "older than 2 weeks," or a specific date and time, such as "before January 1, 2012." Time settings are based on a 24-hour clock.

Size	--size	Includes or excludes files based on their size. NOTE: File sizes are represented in multiples of 1024, not 1000.
