Data Aging and Time Zones

Data aging operations age data according to the time zone of the associated storage policy.

You can designate the following time zones for a storage policy:

CommServe Time Zone (default)
Storage Policy Time Zone
Client Computer Time Zones

Note

Exercise caution while changing time zones, especially when the time zone of a client is set to an earlier time. This can cause data to be aged earlier than intended.

From the CommCell Console, expand Policies | Storage Policies.
Right-click the appropriate storage policy and click Properties.
In the Storage Policy Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab, and specify the appropriate settings.

By default, CommServe Time Zone is selected under Time Zone Settings.
1. If you have changed the time zone and like to revert to CommServe time zone, from the Time Zone list, select CommServeTime Zone.
2. If you want to configure a storage policy for all clients within a specific time zone, from the Time Zone list, select appropriate time zone.
3. If your storage policy is associated with clients in multiple time zones, from the Time Zone list, select Client Time Zone.
A message appears that asks if you want to change the time zone.
Click OK and then click OK to close the Storage Policy Properties dialog box.
