Customize the stale data definition in NetApp Data Classification
NetApp Data Classification identifies stale data to help you identify saving opportunities and governance risks. Because the definition of stale data can vary across different organizational contexts, you can customize how Data Classification defines stale data.
Stale data can be defined based on when it was last accessed or last modified. The time period selections range from 6 months ago to 10 years ago.
By default, data is considered stale if it was last modified three years ago.
