Cleaning Media
9
This function allows you to clean a file system, policy class, or media. 
Periodic cleaning helps prevent inactive information from growing to an 
unmanageable size. When you run this function, the StorNext Storage 
Manager removes inactive files that have not been accessed since the 
specified endtime. This process does not affect current file versions on the 
media.
