Creating a cleanup policy
Cleanup permanently deletes all audit trails and data that is older than Delete data from SPS after without creating a backup copy or an archive. Such data is irrecoverably lost. Use this option with care.

NOTE:
This policy does not delete existing archives from an external CIFS or NFS server. |

Navigate to Policies > Backup & Archive/Cleanup and click
in the Archive/Cleanup policies section to create a new cleanup policy.
-
Enter a name for the cleanup policy.
-
Enter the time when the cleanup process should start into the Start time field in HH:MM format (for example 23:00).
You can add the start time for additional cleanup processes.
Caution: When specifying an additional start time, ensure that the previous cleanup process finishes before the new cleanup process starts.

To cleanup the data collected on SPS more than once a day, click
NOTE: In case a cleanup process is not finished before the next one would start, the next cleanup process waits for the previous process to be completed.

To receive e-mail notifications, select the Send notification on errors only or the Send notification on all events option. Notifications are sent to the administrator e-mail address set on the Management tab, and include the list of the files that were backed up.
NOTE: This e-mail notification is different from the one set on the Alerting & Monitoring tab. This notification is sent to the administrator's e-mail address, while the alerts are sent to the alert e-mail address (see Configuring system monitoring on SPS).
