Archiving a partition

Incident partitions fill automatically, but you can only keep either 4 partitions (SQL Server Express) or 8 partitions (Microsoft SQL Server Standard or Enterprise) online. To save older partitions, archive them offline. The maximum local offline storage allowed is 12 partitions (approximately 3 years of records). To archive a partition:

Steps

  1. Go to the Settings > General > Archive Partitions page in the Data Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager.
  2. Select one or more incident partitions.
  3. Click Archive in the toolbar.
  4. Review the list of partitions to be archived, adding comments, if needed.

    For an explanation of the information shown for each partition, see Archiving incident partitions section.

  5. Click OK to continue.

Next steps

The number of partition archives you can create depends on the size of the partition location.
