Dynamic File Services Group: The user that installs Dynamic File Services is automatically added to the Dynamic File Services group. This allows the user to create and manage pairs, policies, and schedules. Other user names can be added to the group. For information, see Section 6.3, Configuring Administrators for Pair Management.

Retention Reviewers: The Dynamic File Services Retention Review group is automatically assigned as a reviewer of a retention pair. You can remove it from the Reviewers list, if desired. For information, see Section 12.2.1, Adding or Removing Reviewers for a Retention Pair.

Cloud Engine: You can use your cloud storage as the secondary path of a retention pair. The Cloud Engine allows Dynamic File Services to read and write files to cloud storage, while preserving the ACLs and metadata for the files. See Section 4.11, Using Cloud Storage as the Secondary Path in a Retention Pair

Cloud Database: The Cloud database stores information about the cloud accounts you have defined on the Dynamic File Services server, including credentials and retention pair associations. See Cloud Database Files.

Previously, tiering was allowed only if the standard pair and retention pair were on different Dynamic File Services servers.

Cloud Storage: You can specify a path on cloud storage as the secondary path of a retention pair.

Retention Pair Reviewers: You can use the Reviewers tab in a retention pair’s Properties dialog box to add and remove reviewers for pair. See Section 12.2.1, Adding or Removing Reviewers for a Retention Pair.
