The finance department requires PDFs that are no longer being accessed be sent to AWS S3. Which data movement policy is used?

The requirement is to move files that are "no longer being accessed" to AWS S3. The PowerProtect DD Cloud Tier feature uses data movement policies to automate this process. The "Age-based" policy is designed for this exact use case. It migrates files to the cloud tier if their last modification time is older than a specified period (e.g., move files not modified in the last 90 days). This directly addresses the need to archive inactive data based on its age.

A. Recall is the process of retrieving data from the cloud tier back to the active tier; it is not a data movement policy for archiving.
C. Agg-driven is a manual policy that moves all eligible files during the next cleaning cycle, not based on inactivity or age.
D. Age-range policy moves files with a modification time that falls within a specific start and end date range, which is different from moving files older than a certain age.
