What Data is Purged?

Each purge removes eligible database records plus any corresponding blob (binary large object) files, if the blob files are stored locally. This is because each CA DataMinder event comprises metadata, written to the local CA DataMinder database, and a blob (Binary Large Object) file, saved on physical media.

• The database record contains the event metadata. For example, database fields specify an e-mail delivery date, 'envelope' details, what policy triggers were applied, and so on.
• The blob file contains the e-mail content and any attachments, or the Web page plus any uploaded files, stored in CA DataMinder format. The blob file is written to disk, saved in the \Data folder.
