Creating an archive
You can use this procedure to create a one-time or scheduled archive.
If you plan on creating an archive to a cloud location, first add your cloud account to the Rapid Recovery Core
Console. For more information, see
.
A one-time archive is an archive created on-demand for a specified machine. A scheduled archive is an archive
that automatically recurs on the date and time you specify in the wizard. Having the ability to schedule a recurring
archive accommodates situations where you would want frequent archives of a machine to be saved, without the
inconvenience of needing to manually create the archives each time.
1. On the button bar of the Rapid Recovery Core Console, click Archive.
The Archive Wizard opens.
2. On the Archive Type page of the wizard, select one of the following options:
•
One-time archive
•
Continuous archive (by schedule)
3. Click Next.
