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: Emails; 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.
