Automated file lifecycle management is applied to every aspect of PAM for FILES
archiving. The capture, routing, storage, restoration and deletion of documents form the backbone of a documents lifecycle and can all be automated using the HSM Archive engine capabilities.

Retention category strategies are predominantly driven by either compliance or storage optimization. After a retention time elapses, older files that are rarely used can be
re-assigned onto long-term storage media or deleted from the archive altogether.
