Note: Only a system user can perform the archive function, and it cannot be scheduled with a system job. They must be the only user logged in when the archive function is initiated. Once the archive function is underway, log-in is disabled until the archive function completes.

Archiving allows a System Administrator to move data from the operational portion of the database to a location that is inaccessible to the users. The data that is archived is generally historical data that is no longer of immediate value. By archiving unneeded data, the size of the operational portion of the database is reduced, which can reduce the amount of time needed to access data.

The archiving of data is a powerful feature, but it is potentially destructive to the integrity of the data. For this reason, the archiving of data must be approached cautiously and with a great deal of forethought. AgileAssets recommends that you only use existing archive sets to archive data.

If necessary, you can Retrieve Archived Data and restore it to the operational portion of the database.
