THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO:
- WAFS version 3.6.2 and later
SYMPTOM
Some applications save numerous versions (i.e., more than 32) of previous versions of files (e.g., Microsoft Outlook .pst files, AutoDesk Revit Files, Automatic ACL Replication files), causing the Vault to fill up very quickly.
RESOLUTION
In WAFS version 3.6.2, you can enable a cleanup algorithm to automatically remove the previous versions using the "enbSpecialPass" Windows Registry key. Set the key to 1 to enable the cleanup algorithm or 0 to disable it.
