Performing a GUI Archive

You can archive a file or a group of files using file names, or you can select files that match your search criteria using a directory tree. Perform archives using the following procedure:

  1. Click Archive files and directories into long term storage from the main window. The Archive window appears.
  2. Expand the directory tree by clicking the plus sign (+) or the folder icon next to an object in the tree. To search or filter files, click the Search icon from the tool bar.

      To search:

    1. Enter your search criteria in the Find Files (Archive) window.
    2. Click the Search button. The Matching Files (Archive) window appears.
    3. Click the selection boxes next to the files you want to archive and close the Matching Files (Archive) window.

      To filter:

      1. Enter your filter criteria in the Find Files (Archive) window.
      2. Click the Filter button. The Archive window displays the filtered files.
      3. Click the selection boxes next to the filtered files or directories you want to archive.
  3. Enter the description, accept the default description, or select an existing description for your archive package in the Description box. When an existing archive description is used, the files or directories selected are added to the archive package. All archived packages with the same description are grouped for retrieves, queries, and deletions.
  4. To modify specific archive options, click the Options button located to the right of the Estimate button. Any options you change are effective during the current session only. To estimate the transfer time for your archive selections click the Estimate button.
