Archiving is designed to allow administrators to remove old or superfluous Projects from taking up excessive space. Archiving projects works the same as exporting except for two differences – the Projects (and all versions) are removed after an Archive and the Project is marked as archived so wont show up under the Find command. The Archive ID is added to the Project data in the Window-Database-Project window so you can see where your project should now reside. The idea behind Archives is that you keep your Archive sets available offline on CD or DVD for later retrieval if necessary.
- Choose Archive from the Manage menu.
- Choose any conditions you want to archive and choose Find. If one or more Projects meets the conditions, click the Archive button to begin archiving the found projects.
Options
- Note that it will archive every found Project, not just the ones highlighted, so choose carefully.
- Should they need to be restored, the archived document can be unarchived using the Unarchive command - this unmarks the project as an archive and puts it away again on the server.
