Leave last […] generations
Allows you to specify the number of generation to leave (i.e. not select for delete) from the specified period. If you specify a number, you will only be able to select files and directories that have more generations, than the number specified in this box.
Only data removed since (days ago)
By default, this box is blank. This filter allows you to remove backed up directories and files that were intentionally deleted from the source computer. Enter a number in this box to show only directories and files that were deleted from the source computer more than that number of days ago.
 
Placeholder / Stub selection
[Windows DS-Client] This option can be used if you are using a third-party storage management solution that migrates infrequently used files from the source, and leaves a small (size) placeholder/stub in its place. If DS-Client detects a placeholder / stub is created on the source, the corresponding file on DS-System will be deleted, based on the specified conditions.
Keep the last placeholder / stub and subsequent generations
The last placeholder or stub will be kept on DS-System, as well as any full file generations that appear after that latest placeholder/stub.
Keep all placeholders / stubs
All placeholders or stubs will be kept on DS-System, as well as any full file generations that appear after that latest placeholder/stub.
