Archive Database
Select an option to schedule
archiving
history. Archiving creates a copy of the latest history transactions,
leaving your history database empty. The default value for this option is Monthly. If you select:
•
Daily
: The archive is appended every day beginning at 11:59:58 P.M.
•
Weekly
: The archive is appended every week on the day that you select, beginning at 11:59:58
P.M. (You must select a day of the week.) Any change in the scheduling occurs immediately. For
example, if archiving is taking place on Tuesdays and the schedule is revised to archive on
Wednesday, the archiving will occur one day later, on Wednesday.
•
Monthly
: The archive is appended on the last day of the month beginning at 11:59:58 P.M.
The Secure Perfect
services
do NOT have to be running. Archiving will occur as long as SQL Server
Agent services are running.
