11.2 Configuring Database Maintenance Options
GFI LanGuard ships with a set of database maintenance options through which you can maintain your
scan results database backend in good shape.
For example, you can improve product performance and prevent your scan results database backend
from getting excessively large by automatically deleting scan results that are older than a specific
number of months.
If you are using an Access

database backend, you can also schedule database compaction.
Compaction enables you to repair any corrupted data and to delete database records marked for
deletion in your database backend; ensuring the integrity of your scan results database. The following
