Intervention Option: DoD Overwrite and Replace

Available for: Data At Rest. But note that for items detected in Exchange Public Folders or SharePoint sites, DoD Overwrite and Replace actions are not supported, although Replace actions (without DoD deletions) are supported.

Not available for: Emails; Application Monitor; Data In Motion.

Choose DoD Overwrite and Replace to delete files using DoD deletion (see below) 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.

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