LinkStation 220 File Retention

[jostry]

Is there any way to setup some sort of File Retention with the LinkStation 220? I will be using the drive to store audio recordings but only want 120 days of recording. Is there a way to setup the drives to delete files that are older than 120 days?

Thank you,
Jake

The LinkStation doesn't have this ability, it just functions as storage.

Do you know if any of the Buffalo Storage drives have a File Retention feature?

Thank you,

They do not, it's expected that whatever software is using the share will handle file retention.

use ssh and cron

example for LS520D (/usr/bin/find)

Code: [Select]

0 4 * * * /usr/bin/find /XXX -iname "*" -mtime +120 -delete

replace XXX with the folder path
