Restoring Archived Data 0
Overview
Restore feature The Restore feature enables you to view and reprocess data via the Restored
Interchanges browser. When data is restored, the archive data file (*.ARV file) is
not altered.You can restore data from the same archive file again, if you wish.
Restore caveats To restore data to your system, the following must be true:
◗ The item must have been deleted after it was archived.
◗ For message data, the original mailbox must still exist on your system.
Note
If the original mailbox does not exist, Archive Manager attempts to recreate it.
This facsimile mailbox does not contain all the properties of the original one.
Reference
See Creating an Archive Definition on page 10 - 36 for more information about
the post-archive delete function.
Moving archive
files to tape
As the number of archive data files created by the Archive function increases and
corresponding disk space is used, you may determine that you want to move
archive data files to tape.
Note
Copying archive files to tape is not part of the Gentran:Server functionality. If you
move an archive file to tape, the Archive Search facility is no longer aware of the
existence of the file. Files that are moved to tape cannot be viewed while on tape.
However, if you reload an archive file from tape to the Archives folder, you can
once again view the data via the Archive Manager.
Recommendation
Use some type of tape management system to track the archive files saved to tape.
