The max file size in the backup policy is the default 100MB. That seems to apply to each file. But I don't see how this has anything to do purging the files older than 7 days, that's controlled by Set Purge Policy. Or, am I misunderstanding what Set Purge Policy is supposed to do?

Would a Forced Purge through the browser GUI be equivalent to manually deletion on the CLI?

Purge policy controls messages purged from the database. The backup policy says that those messages purged should be backed up into text files for future analysis. The only way to get rid of those text files is to manually delete them.

Thanks for clarifying. That's different from what I perceived.

Is Admin > Config Mgmt > Archive Mgmt > Purge Settings responsible for purging /var/adm/CSCOpx/files/rme/dcma/difffiles, that's over 7GB right now? Current policy is set to retain Max 5 versions and of purge versions older than 30 days. In this case, does the following look right?
