New file systems
The New Filesystem Wizard includes a WORM/Retention dialog box that allows you to enable
data retention and define a retention profile for the file system.
The default retention period determines whether you can manage WORM (non-retained) files as
well as WORM-retained files. To manage only WORM-retained files, set the default retention
period. WORM-retained files then use this period by default; however, you can assign a different
retention period if desired.
To manage both WORM (non-retained) and WORM-retained files, uncheck Set Default Retention
Period. The default retention period is then set to 0 seconds. When you make a WORM file retained,
you will need to assign a retention period to the file.
