If the data that you store in a General-purpose NAS file system has not been accessed for more than 14 days, the data is deemed as cold data. In this case, you can enable the lifecycle management feature. Then, you can dump the cold data to an Infrequent Access (IA) storage medium to reduce costs. This topic describes how to manage a lifecycle policy in the Apsara File Storage NAS console.
