2.3.63 FSCTL_RECALL_FILE Request

  • Article

This message requests that the server recall the file (associated with the handle on which this FSCTL was invoked) from storage media that Remote Storage manages. This FSCTL is not valid for directories.

Typically, files stored on media that is managed by Remote Storage are recalled when an application attempts to make the first access to data. An application that opens a file without immediately accessing the data can speed up the first access by using FSCTL_RECALL_FILE immediately after opening the file. For performance reasons, it is recommended that an application not recall a file unnecessarily.

This message does not contain any additional data elements.
