Archived Folder Structure

Archived data is stored in an archive folder which is to be defined in the Archive tab. All a client's archiving runs are collected in a folder which shows the four-digit client number. A subfolder is created with each archiving run. It contains all archived data and the corresponding index files. The subfolder name is composted of the prefix "UC_ARCHIV_", the current date in the format "YYYYMMDD", and a consecutive number (e.g. 0001\UC_ARCHIV_20030520_3).

The maximum folder size (presetting = 650 megabytes) can also be defined in the Archive tab. If the data to be archived exceeds the specified value, a new folder with the next consecutive number is created and the archiving run is continued in this folder.

Numbering facilitates the filing of large archive stocks and makes it easier to retrieve data records. The archiving number is also shown in the index file.

Use the Archive Browser to view the contents of archive folders.
