About Retention Management
From the Retention Management section, you can manage the settings and polices that determine how long archived messages are retained in Veritas Alta Archiving. By default, Veritas Alta Archiving retains archived messages indefinitely (although this is not recommended since it will result in Storage overages in future). If required, you can configure Veritas Alta Archiving to collect archived messages for removal after those messages have been retained for a defined retention period.
The default retention period is a global setting that determines how long archived messages are retained before they are collected for removal. After you configure the global retention period and enable the storage expiry setting, the collection of archived messages for removal begins. During the daily collection events, any messages that have been retained for longer than the default retention period are scheduled for removal 14 days later. The Retention Administrator receives daily notification emails during the 14-day grace period informing them of the number of archived messages that are scheduled for removal.
Note:
Any archived messages that have a matter-level, search-level, or message-level legal hold applied from Veritas Alta eDiscovery are not removed.
Beyond the global retention period, the retention period for archived messages can be reduced or extended by creating retention policies to associate with the following policy targets:
Managed tags - A global tag that you create and assign to users. Once you create a managed tag and associate a retention policy, users can apply the tag to archived messages to reduce or extend their retention period. The retention period of the associated retention policy determines how long tagged messages are retained in Veritas Alta Archiving.
Active Directory distribution groups - The distribution groups that are synchronized from Active Directory using ArchiveTools CloudLink. Associating a retention policy with a distribution group reduces or extends the retention period of the archived messages for all members of that group. The retention period of the associated retention policy determines how long the messages for the distribution group members are retained in Veritas Alta Archiving.
Note:
Because archived messages are retained in accordance with the longest retention period, you should create retention policies with retention periods that exceed the default retention period.
