the Global Retention Policy and any Saved Search retention policies are run against all archived messages once a
week.   Note that before you can create a Saved Search retention policy, you must create at least one Saved Search in the BASIC > Search
 > Advanced Search page.
Use Case – Global Retention Policy
In this example, Kari is the administrator and wishes to set the maximum age of an archived message before it is permanently purged from the
archive. Kari uses the following steps to set up retention using a Global Retention Policy:

Log in to the Barracuda Message Archiver as the administrator.
Go to the  page, and set  to .POLICY > Retention  Allow automatic message deletion   Yes
In the  section, Kari determines the maximum number of days to retain messages. If she enters  in thisGlobal Retention Policy  0 
field, the messages are kept indefinitely. She decides that messages should be retained for 30 days, and enters  in the 30  Policy
 field.Length
Click  .Save Changes
Once the Global Retention Policy is set, archived messages are automatically deleted from the Barracuda Message Archiver.
Step 7. Search Mail Using the Web Interface
There are two search modes on the   page:BASIC > Search
 Basic – Run a search based on a word or phrase across all messages accessible by your account. 
 Advanced  – Run a complex search query based on multiple criteria; note that you can save queries for future use.
When you initially go to the   page, all messages accessible by your account display in the messageBASIC > Search
list in the  tab.Standard 
  Use the Basic Search mode to perform a quick search across all of your messages. Use Advanced Search mode to perform complex search
queries based on selected attributes.
Use Case – Export Messages
In this example, Uma works in a real estate office. She recently closed a sale for property on Hernandez Avenue
with M. Beckly. The procedure in the office is to burn a CD with all correspondence regarding a sale once the sale is
complete. Uma needs to search for all of messages related to the sale, and then export the messages to a .zip file:
Click here to expand...
Log in to the Barracuda Message Archiver as a user.
Go to the   page, and click  .BASIC > Search Advanced
Select    , and type as the first set of search criteria, then click the   (plus) button to the left ofEmail > From/To/Cc > contains    beckly +
the search parameter.
To the right of the first set of search criteria, click  to toggle to  .AND  OR
Select  , and type   as the second set of search criteria:All > Entire Message > contains hernandez
Important:
The Global Retention Policy setting does not apply to any messages that match a Saved-Search
retention policy. If the age of any message exceeds the maximum age allowed by all Saved-Search
 retention policies that apply to the message, that message is permanently deleted from the Barracuda
Message Archiver.
