Caching
- Cache Duration -- This is the number of days items will be kept in the Cache Location. Minimum duration is one day.
- Max. Cache Size (GB) -- This sets a storage capacity threshold on the local cache. CASP uses a first in, first out (FIFO) queuing approach when the cache is at capacity, meaning it will remove the oldest files first. Minimum size is one GB.
- Cache Location -- This is the path on the local server where cached items will be stored. It is recommended to change this location to a non-system drive when possible.
Process Exclusions (Optional)
User Exclusions (Optional)
To support excluding network scan processes from causing unwanted retrieval of stubs, User Exclusions can be used.
This will work nearly identically to the process exclusion, except by pattern matching against the user domain/id rather than a folder path. There are a few examples presented in the dialog when adding the exclusion.
Note: This should not be considered a security setting. The kernel mode driver may still serve the file depending on the internally cached state of the file within the kernel (if another user is currently using the file, for example). The retrieval service always relies on ACL configuration for security.
Advanced Settings
Under the 'Advanced' sub tab you will find the following settings:
- # Threads -- This determines how many folders will be processed in parallel by the Retrieval Service when executing export jobs.
- Log Directory -- This is the output path where you will find the event logs for the Retrieval Service.
- The # Async Threads parameter is only for the “Retrieve Entire Folder on First Stub Access” feature. This controls how many files are requested in parallel.
Pre-ingest Encryption Settings
If you are using the pre-ingest encryption option in the CASP Connector Service along with seamless or link-based stubbing, the Retrieval Service will need to be configured with the encryption key to automatically decrypt any encrypted files when they are retrieved.
The Connector ID is required when configuring this option and can be found on the properties of the connector.
Enable the Retrieval Service to Support Link-based Stubbing
If you are planning to use link-based stubs, you will need to enable the checkbox 'Act as Link-based Stub Retrieval Server' and configure the 'Stub Share' path. For more information on link-based stubbing, see Overview of Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection Link-based Stubbing.
