This is one area where the documentation can use recommendations. For example, I want to see how the job performed, via the log, from 10 days ago. Today, the log would show GetFile failed if older than three days, or thereabouts.](/discussions/31795-what-is-the-best-way-to-retain-10-days-of-log-information-on-each-job-this-is-one-area-where-the-documentation-can-use-recommendations-for-example-i-want-to-see-how-the-job-performed-via-the-log-from-10-days-ago-today-the-log-would-show-getfile-fail) All jobs have properties that determine how job log files are managed. The factory default setting is Centrally Managed Logging. This means that the location and name of the log file is completely left to ActiveBatch. You can specify how long to keep these log files using a custom retention period – once it has been met, they can either be deleted or archived. The properties in question can be found on the job's Execution tab. With the Centrally Managed Log File radio button selected, you can then specify a log retention period. The retention period cannot exceed how long you keep the job instances (found in Completion properties) since logs are associated with instances. If the factory default log retention period is not suited for your organization, we would recommend you create a default job policy to modify the default value for this property. This way, ActiveBatch job authors don’t have to set or override the factory default values themselves. This is a great time saver, reduces errors, and sets company standards. You can also use the default policy feature to "push down" a policy to existing child objects with the container, overriding whatever existing value exists. A default job policy can be set on any ActiveBatch folder or plan, or the root-level Job Scheduler object by right-clicking it in the Object Navigation Pane and selecting Policy \> Defaults.

I’m currently exploring secure and scalable[managed file transfer (MFT) solutions](https://www.g2.com/categories/managed-file-transfer-mft) for a fast-growing tech startup. We need something reliable enough for sensitive data, but not overbuilt for our current size. Bonus points if it’s startup-budget-friendly and cloud-first. These are the platforms I’m looking at based on G2 reviews: 1. [**Progress MOVEit**](https://www.g2.com/products/progress-moveit/reviews) **:** Known for enterprise-grade security—does it work well for leaner teams? 2. [**AWS Transfer Family**](https://www.g2.com/products/aws-transfer-family/reviews) **:** Fully managed and flexible, but curious how steep the learning curve is if you're not already deep in AWS. 3. [**GoAnywhere MFT**](https://www.g2.com/products/goanywhere-mft/reviews) **:** Offers strong automation and security. Anyone using this in a cloud-native setup? 4. [**Files.com**](https://www.g2.com/products/files-com/reviews) **:** Seems user-friendly with solid collaboration features. Is it good for teams without a dedicated IT admin? 5. [**Axway Managed File Transfer**](https://www.g2.com/products/axway-managed-file-transfer/reviews) **:** Looks powerful, but is it too complex for startup needs? If your startup has gone through this decision, I’d love to hear what helped you choose, and whether you’d pick the same tool again today. Anyone using Files.com without a full IT team? Wondering if it really is as plug-and-play as it looks.
