Archive/Restore Location
Item

Enter the path to the archive or restore location of the item. Use the Browse button to select the proper path to the directory where you want to store or restore the item files.

When the archiving has finished, you can access the files in this directory and use for example tape backup to make a final non-disk archive.

Path is on Manager

Check this box, if you are using an Explorer on another computer than the manager itself and you want to give the path to a local drive on the manager (as seen by the manager). Otherwise, do not check the box. Checking the Path is on Manager box in Windows environment disables the Browse button. That is not the case in Java environment.

Comment

In the Comment field you may enter information that will help you identify the item files, if you want to restore the files later on.

You can enter characteristics of the final destination, not the intermediary destination pointed to by Path above (which is saved and readable in the Archive tab entries Archived at and Archive path).

Purge Files Only

This option can be used for example if the software has already been archived, restored and you now want to make space on the manager.

To use this option, the software should still reside on its archived location, or having been moved to for example tape.
