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.
- Choose Archive from the Manage menu.
- Choose and 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.
Note that it will archive every found Project, not just the ones highlighted, so choose carefully.
The idea is that archived projects will be backed up offline to CD or DVD. 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.
