Highly appreciate any advice/guidance  on below query

 Due to high number of  documents and media files (many Service Requests and Surveys  connected), Customer is looking for a solution to archive documents/media files older than certain number of days.

After moving into Azure File Storage ,  Is there any way to transfer files from Azure File Storage to an External Storage?

If yes, what is the IFS recommended approach   ?

Also is there any storage limit or any archiving capabilities within the Azure File Storage?   

 

Customer is IFS Hosted and using 23R2.

Thank you!

Hi,

There is no archiving functionality for Media Library or Document Management in IFS Cloud, and no way to move files to external storage. Things can change, but it doesn't sound likely to have IFS Cloud Services support external storage location. Depending on what it means, of course: 

For our understanding, what would “external storage” mean, to you, and what problem would it solve?

File Storage in Cloud deployment uses Azure Blob Storage and should be quite inexpensive and I don't think there are any practical storage limitations with regards to the total size of the repository. It might cost more though.

Also, what volumes are we talking about here? That is, how many files per hour/day/week/month, what file types and what is the average size?

Thanks!
