Hi Markus,

In Robinhood's HSM purpose, when a file is deleted from the active file system, 
a copy still remains on the archive tier unless or until a cleanup is 
specifically requested. This is referred to as deferred removal or "soft rm". I 
don't know if deferred removal is a feature available in the other RBH purposes.

The following configuration block tells RBH to remove files from the archive 24 
hours after they are removed from the active tier:

hsm_remove_policy {
    # enable deferred removal in the archive
    hsm_remove = TRUE;
    # delay before object removal
    deferred_remove_delay = 24h;
}

Regards,

Malcolm.
