Quarantined Files

Once a file is marked as Quarantined, the file no longer participates in collaboration, and thus changes to any version of the file will not be propagated to other hosts.  However, subsequent file activity on a quarantined file will be logged in the Event Log as a warning so that you can determine who modified the file while it was quarantined.

Quarantined files are saved to disk and will survive session restarts.  The File Conflicts list displays the time and date of the quarantine along with an error message indicating the reason for the quarantine.

A Quarantined File event is also logged in the Event Log and you can obtain a more detailed reason for the quarantine by analyzing the Event Log file(s). In addition, if email alerts and/or SNMP notifications are configured and enabled for File Quarantines, then the appropriate message(s) will be sent.
