Minimum Retention Period The shortest retention period that can be assigned to a file. If
you set a shorter retention period for a retained file, the expiration time of the period will
be adjusted to match the minimum retention period.

Maximum Retention Period The longest retention period that can be assigned to a file. If
you set a longer retention period for a retained file, the expiration time of the period will
be adjusted to match the maximum retention period.

Set Default Retention Period The default retention period determines whether you can
manage WORM (non-retained) files as well as WORM-retained files. (WORM
(non-retained) files can be deleted at any time; WORM-retained files can be deleted only
after the file's retention period has expired.)

To manage only WORM-retained files, set the default retention period to a non-zero
value. WORM-retained files then use this period by default; however, you can assign a
different retention period if desired.

To manage both WORM (non-retained) and WORM-retained files, uncheck Set Default
Retention Period. The default retention period is then set to 0 seconds. When you make
a WORM file retained, you will need to assign a retention period to the file.

Set Auto-Commit Period Files that are not changed during this period automatically become
WORM or WORM-retained when the period expires. (If the default retention period is
set to zero, the files become WORM. If the default retention period is set to a value greater
than zero, the files become WORM-retained.) The autocommit period is optional and
should not be set if you want to keep normal files in the filesystem.

Set Default retention period This period determines whether you can manage WORM
(non-retained) files as well as WORM-retained files. (WORM (non-retained) files can be deleted
at any time; WORM-retained files can be deleted only after the file's retention period has
expired.)

To manage only WORM-retained files, set the default retention period to a non-zero value.
WORM-retained files then use this period by default; however, you can assign a different
retention period if desired.

To manage both WORM (non-retained) and WORM-retained files, uncheck Set Default Retention
Period. The default retention period is then set to 0 seconds. When you make a WORM file
retained, you will need to assign a retention period to the file.

Autocommit period When the autocommit period is set and if no operations are performed
during this period then file is ready to be wormed/wormed-retained. Physical transition to
worm/worm-retained for a file happens when a write operation is attempted on it. (If the
