Golden Copy is a policy driven data movement tool. Policies for data movement are configured on a per directory basis. These policies can be full or incremental and can include pattern matching to move only selected data. In addition to standard file system metadata (path, creation date, ownership), Golden Copy can also extract embedded metadata from many file types and include those tags as object properties.
As a part of this policy structure, deletes are propagated or not. Alternatively, Golden Copy has a “delayed delete” function. “Delayed deletes” keeps objects in a “trash” bucket on the object store for a set period.
