To control Cloud stoage, you must apply policies that specify when files are uploaded to the cloud, and how much time those files spend in each Cloud storage tier.
Before you begin
- Cloud storage must be activated.
- Your user account must be a member of the Administrators group or have the Cloud storage privilege.
What you should know
Procedure
-
Under Upload to Cloud storage, switch Cloud storage on or off, and
specify when video archives are uploaded to the cloud performance tier from local
storage.
NOTE: Your subscription controls where video archives can be uploaded. If your subscription includes performance tier storage, video archives must be uploaded to the performance tier before they can be moved to long-term storage.Video archives must be uploaded to the cloud during the local retention period. Setting the upload policy to 0 days sends video archives to Cloud storage as soon as possible.
Switch Cloud storage off to stop uploading video archives. This setting has no affect on files already in the cloud. When switched off, all pending uploads will complete, and video archives in Cloud storage are preserved in accordance with the cloud retention policy.
-
Under Move to long-term storage, turn long-term storage on or off,
and specify when video archives are moved from the performance tier to the long-term
tier.
-
Under Retention period, specify when video archives are deleted
from the cloud. This setting specifies the retention period for all video archives in the
cloud.
IMPORTANT: Some subscriptions require a minimum file retention period. To configure a shorter retention period than the minimum specified by your subscription, contact Genetec™ Sales.
