Cleaning Media 9
This function allows you to clean a file system, policy class, or media.
Periodic cleaning helps prevent inactive information from growing to an
unmanageable size. When you run this function, the StorNext Storage
Manager removes inactive files that have not been accessed since the
specified endtime. This process does not affect current file versions on the
media.
1 From the SNSM home page, choose Clean from the Media menu. The
Clean Media screen appears.

Caution: Inactive file versions cleaned from the media cannot be
recovered or used again.
