4.1 ARCHIVE
Note: The archiving functions described below can also be initiated by job action - see
4.1.1 Archive to disk
This allows the user to initiate data transfer, to a mass storage medium such as a floppy disk, for all groups with 'Ar-
chive to Media' enabled (
Group configuration - section 4.3.2
), by touching the relevant archive period key (e.g. Last
Day').
Archiving starts as soon as the selection is made, and cannot be stopped until completed, unless the Cancel Archive
key is operated, in which case the archive will be stopped after a confirmatory message has been responded to. The
Cancel key is active only if 'Archiving Control' is enabled in Security/Access (
ing is enabled for more than one group, a warning message appears.
Selection of 'Bring Archive Up To Date' causes the recorder to select whichever of the Last Hour/Last Day etc. cat-
egories is appropriate to bring the archive up to date. Figure 4.4.1 shows the archive to disk menu.

Figure 4.1.1 Disk archive strategy configuration
If the disk becomes full before archiving is complete, archiving pauses and a pop-up request appears, asking for the
disk to be replaced. If this request is not responded-to within 10 minutes of its appearance, archiving is aborted,
Unattended archiving can be paused by the user (e.g. to change disks without losing data) by operating the 'Suspend
Archiving' / 'Resume Archiving' button. Any archiving in progress is allowed to complete before the 'Suspend Archiv-
ing' request takes effect. Transfer activity is indicated in the 'Archive transfer' window. Should the disk become full,
the user will be prompted to replace it with a different one.
Below the selection buttons are a number of status windows relating to the mass storage medium.
If automatic archiving is active (
), then this and the manual archive will operate on a first come-first
served basis. Some files will be saved twice in such a circumstance, the later archive's files overwriting any earlier
archive's files which have the same name.
