In BlueMind 4.0, archiving is completely automatic and transparent, which means that users no longer have an "archiving" button or able to see a message's archive status.
Implementing an archiving policy
To implement archiving, in the admin console:
- go to System Management > System Configuration > Mail tab
- In the Archiving section, check the box and fill in:
- Number of days before archiving: the number of days before a message is archived
Size of messages (MiB): threshold above which messages are archived automatically, without waiting for the number of days set
The default value is 1MbThe MiB (Mebibyte) is a multiple of a byte, not to be confused with the MB (megabyte): it is equal to 1024 kebibytes, which itself is equal to 1024 bytes.
Therefore, 9 MiB equals 9,43718 MB.
Archiving runs every day at 4am GMT.
Setting up an archiving space
The partition must be mounted in the /var/spool/bm-hsm/cyrus-archives/
folder.
Changes relative to BlueMind 3.5
Changing the archiving system to a completely automatic system has several consequences. As we've said above, users are no longer able to archive messages manually, but also:
- The archiving policy is the same for all domain users
There are no group or user-specific archiving quotas any more. There is just one quota, archived data is accounted for within this one quota in addition to other non-archived messages.
- The scheduled jobs HSMJob and HSMIndexJob are therefore irrelevant and no longer exist.
