Pausing Housekeeping - HP StoreOnce B6000 Series User Manual

Click Edit and enter the appropriate times for each window. Make sure the Apply First Time
Restriction box is checked. This ensures the times that have been specified are enabled. If it is not
checked, the times are ignored.
You may configure a maximum of two windows for each day. Settings apply to all devices on the
service set.
TIP: Ideally, housekeeping blackout windows should be set for those times when the HP StoreOnce
Backup System is running backup or replication. See the HP StoreOnce Best Practices for VTL, NAS
and Replication implementations for recommendations.

Pausing housekeeping

Click Pause Housekeeping to pause housekeeping altogether (perhaps while you decide how best
to configure blackout windows). This setting applies to all devices, libraries and shares on the HP
StoreOnce Backup System. It is not retained if there is a power failure or the HP StoreOnce Backup
System is powered down.
Housekeeping should not be left in the paused state for significant amounts of time; use it only as
a test tool.
