Retain Maintenance

Maintaining a Retain system involves many tasks:

• Backup configuration (embedded) database
• Compress configuration database
• Indexing (all index files)

Level 1

Maintenance/Caching

The maintenance is controlled here. This configuration database – the “Embedded” database - contains your system address book and key information used by Retain; thus, it should be backed up regularly.

Configure how often it gets backed up. You can also configure how often indexes get backed up and how often the indexes are optimized for speed. Retain also lists a history of backups and maintenance.

Note: This maintenance section does not involve backup or maintenance of the data store. You must back that up yourself. See KB article, "Backing Up Retain", for more details.

Ignore Domains

Some mail systems allow for the addition of non-system, or external domains. Sometimes, you might do this to add external domains to the mail system address book. However, the mail system cannot pull up e-mail from these domains and you may want to tell Retain to ignore references to these external domains to avoid wasting time during data collection. Specify these domains in this section.
