Administrators have the option of setting up a temporary storage location for the Document Store. This duplicate set of data may be used for disaster recovery. In this scenario, a combination of the database backup and this temporary file location, will enable the Administrator to keep the system almost completely up to date in the event of a disaster. This backup location can be set up in either the database or in an external storage location; it cannot be the same as the main storage location.
Follow these steps to open the Temporary Storage Settings page.
Open the Administrator Panel.
Select Technical Settings under Content System. The Technical Settings page will appear.
Click Document Stores. The Manage Document Store page will open.
Select Manage next to one of the Document Stores.
Select Temporary Storage Settings.

Select Never and files will remain in the temporary location indefinitely. Select the Delete in x days option and to keep files in the temporary storage location for a specific period of time. |
If a user removes an item from the Blackboard Content System the item will be stored in the temporary storage location for the selected temporary storage period. The Administrator can use the deletion audit trail report to find the exact path to the item in the temporary storage location. Once the item is located, the Administrator may email it to the user.
If the amount of time in the temporary storage period has passed, the Administrator must search for the item in a database backup.
