3.4.5 Device Backup (Per-Device Limit)
Daily backups of a large network will eventually use up all the disk memory unless customers manually purge old files. One
feature to address this is using file configuration as follows:
The limit is configured in conf/AT_NmsBackupFiles.conf
The property is ATIDEVICE_BACKUP_LIMIT
Setting this to zero is equivalent to no limit.
Setting this to a non-zero number is the number of device backups allowed. For example, if you set the limit to 100, and have
backups scheduled to occur daily for all devices, the AlliedView NMS will keep the most recent 100 days of backups for each
device.
In another example with the limit set to 100, if you have one device with backups twice daily, the AlliedView NMS would
keep the most recent 50 days for that specific device.
Note: There is a Purge Files button that is added to the MDTI application. Refer to 5.3.2.
