File Management Tasks

Amazon FSx for Windows File Server does not support FSRM file management tasks. However, you can achieve common use cases such as data archiving and retention policies by using native PowerShell commands from client machines that have network access to your file system.

For example, you can use PowerShell scripts on client machines to:

  • Move or archive files based on age or last access time

  • Delete classified files that exceed a retention period

  • Copy files to archive storage based on classification properties

You can access files properties using the Get-FsrmClassification command and take actions based on the values.

To access FSRM classification properties or other FSRM metadata from client-side PowerShell scripts, the client machine must also have FSRM installed.
