Policy Guide › Intervention Setting › Intervention Option: Replace

Intervention Option: Replace

Available for: Data At Rest. Note that DoD Overwrite and Replace actions are also supported.

Not available for: Incoming emails, Outgoing emails, Web pages, Application Monitor, Data In Motion.

Choose Replace to delete files and replace them with an explanatory stub file to alleviate any user concerns. For example, you can inform a user that their file was inappropriate and has been removed to a new location. These can be files located in a local or remote file system, or on Microsoft SharePoint sites.

You can combine this control action with a Copy action to effectively move files to a new location.

Important! Be aware that for items detected in Exchange Public Folders, a 'Replace' action will delete each item, but will not replace it with an explanatory stub file. A warning is written to the Activity log.
