Which NetApp capability enables identifying stale or orphaned data during classification?

BlueXP classification includes a Data Aging report as part of its Governance dashboard. This feature provides analytics on when files were last accessed or modified. By visualizing this information, administrators can easily identify stale data—files that have not been used for a long period. This helps in making informed decisions about data lifecycle management, such as archiving or deleting old data to reduce storage costs and security risks. This capability is integral to modern data governance strategies.

A. FPolicy is a file access notification framework in ONTAP used for real-time policy enforcement, not for historical data aging analysis.

C. SnapLock is a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) feature for data retention and compliance, preventing modification or deletion, not for identifying stale data.

D. SnapMirror Vault is a technology for creating long-term, efficient backups and archives; it does not inherently identify stale data in the primary source.
