Archiving Files |
|
The process of archiving files is fairly straightforward. You must select a beginning and ending date range at a minimum. Once the date range is selected, DArc32 will display a list of log and/or audit files that meet the date range and are to be included in the archive.
This list of files to be included will be updated each time you:
| A. | Change either the beginning or ending date. |
| B. | Select or de-select one of the stations to be archived (check it or uncheck it). |
| C. | Select or de-select the archive logs option. |
| D. | Select or de-select the archive audit files option. |
A count of the matching files is displayed and updated each time you change one of the parameters for the archive session. You may also scroll the list of files to be included.
You can change the options relating to zipping the files and deleting the source files on completion of the archive process. You can also change the default archive target location by clicking on the ellipse button (...) to the right of the target location text display.
An example display for an archive session with dates, stations, logs and audit files selected will look similar to:
In this example a total of 94 files have been found that match the date range, stations, log and audit parameters.
Once everything is the way you want it, either click on the tool bar's [Archive Selected Files] button or choose File | Archive Files from the main menu. Note that the [Ctrl-A] key combination will also start the archive process.
As the archive process runs, the check-off/status panel display changes to reflect current activity and progress, as depicted in the screen shot below:
Once the job is complete, the lower status light (the item immediately left of the date/time display) will indicate success by becoming green, or failure by becoming red.
