Guidelines

To configure an archive device, first specify the
is being configured, and then configure the operating parameters according to that
media.
The
archive media is a hard disk, specify the directory.
The
archiving will proceed when the current archive media (volume) becomes full.
When using a disk drive, partition the disk into one or more volumes. This is not
applicable for MO drives. To configure volumes, specify the number and size of the
volumes, and set up volume naming conventions. Optionally, specify whether or not
to have archive volumes automatically published when the volumes have been
copied to a removable media (CD or DVD) and the media is remounted.
For disk-based archiving, it is recommended that automatic
to another media be configured. This way when a volume becomes full, an ISO
image or shadow copy, or both are created on another media. This is not applicable
for MO media which are removable and replaceable.
Optionally, specify whether or not to generate an alarm when the archive media (or
backup media) exceed a specified
alarms recorded in the 800xA System message buffer.
Attempting to apply an invalid parameter setting causes the Device State field to
be highlighted in red to indicate an invalid configuration.
