Section 7 Configuring Archives
When using Archive Backup, ensure that there is always space available in the
destination device to fit the size of the Archive Volume(s) to be copied to it.
Regular maintenance to make offline backups of copied files allowing for the
deletion of copied Archive Volumes is highly recommended.
Also, follow the guidelines for configuring Device Behavior and Overwrite
Timeout as described in
Archive backup is configured with the Backup Archive Path and Backup Type
fields.
The Backup Archive Path specifies the destination for ISO Image files and/or
archive copies when backing up archive data. The path must specify both the disk
and directory structure where the archiving is to take place, for example:
E:\archivebackup.
The ISO image and shadow copy can be made on a remote computer which does not
require Industrial IT Archive software. The directory on the remote node must be a
shared folder with the correct privileges (the write privilege must be one of the
privileges). For example: \\130.110.111.20\isofile.
There are two requirements for the computer where the destination directory is
located:
•
•
If these conditions are not met, the error message shown in
applying the archive device configuration. The object will be created (Apply
Successful initial indication); however, the archive device will not be operational,
and the error message will appear when the message bar updates.

The destination directory must exist on the computer BEFORE configuring

system service account.
