Retention Policy Storage Report

The Storage Report provides a high-level overview report for data retained by each retention policy.

Notes to consider about Storage reports:

  • All storage reports are updated daily, so statistics may not take into account changes made since the last calculations.
  • Since a message or attachment can be subject to multiple retention policies, there may be a discrepancy between the Storage Usage Data total of all the policy data and the aggregate storage data. In these situations, the Aggregate Statistics entry reflects the correct value.
  • The default policy causes a number of additional messages that are not held for an explicit policy to be visible in the totals. This occurs when users are deleted or removed from a membership-based policy.

To view storage reports:

  1. Login to GFI OneConnect with an administrator account.
  2. From the top-right menu, navigate to Manage > Archiving.
  1. Navigate to Storage Report.
