The Obsolete Data Analysis provides migRaven Administrators and data owners can see the age of the stored data. They can therefore identify how many and which files are possibly taking up unnecessary storage space in the directories. This is particularly relevant for the Data Retention explained.
To start an Obsolete Data Analysis:
- Open the migRaven.24/7 web client
- Navigate to using the menu Resource analysis.
- Select the Obsolete Data Analysis .
- In the first drop-down menu, select the file server resource(s) you want to analyze.
- In the drop-down menu below, select the filter for the age of the data.
- Start the analysis by clicking Home.
Note: You can select multiple projects when selecting a project. This enables cross-project evaluations.
You will receive various graphics that show you the distribution of the data age (according to the filter) in relation to both the number of directories (2) and files (3) as well as the used storage space (4) set. Here you can clearly see how much potential there is for moving data that is no longer relevant.
At (1) you will receive an explanation for the analysis.
