If you created a job for deleting old snapshots, but old snapshots are not being deleted, the Microsoft Windows registry setting for the Last Access file attribute may be disabled on the machine hosting the FYI Server.
By default, the Last Access file attribute is disabled for NTFS-based operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows Vista, to improve the NTFS (NT File System) performance. When the Last Access file attribute is disabled, the Delete old snapshots action will not run for a job in FYI Server.

Before enabling the Last Access attribute, refer to Microsoft Windows documentation to determine whether you should activate the Last Access attribute, and consult with your Network Administrator before changing the Last Access attribute setting. |
