Archive Document Revisions (VaultAdmin)

Archive and restore document revisions. Access this dialog box from the VaultAdmin Projects tab.

The archive directory must be in the vault.

Documents are archived and restored to or from:

• One project at a time.

• One archive directory at a time.

Administrators can grant users permission to archive and restore documents from a client (see Delete, Rollback, Archive documents on the Vault Settings tab).

Do not delete projects from which documents are archived. Projects contain data that allows documents to be restored. Documents cannot be restored if the project is deleted.

To prepare to archive document revisions:

1. On the Projects tab:

• Select a project under Project information.

• Specify a folder under Archive directory on vault computer.

2. Click Archive Project.

To archive documents:

1. In the Archive Document Revisions dialog box, select Archive under Task.

2. Select documents from the list as described below, then click Select.

3. Click Archive.

Select by date

Files older than <n> days. For archiving, 0 includes all documents that meet the criteria by revision. Exclude documents by increasing the number of days. For restoring, the opposite is true: larger numbers include more documents while smaller numbers exclude more documents.

Select by revision

All but latest <n> primaries, secondaries, and tertiaries. Archive or restore all the revisions in each category except the specified latest revisions. For example, for 2, all but the latest two revisions are selected, and for 0, all the revisions are selected.

Selections

Sort. Click a header to sort the list by that category. The default order is by document name and revision level. For example, click the Date header to sort by date in ascending order. Click Date again to reverse the order.

Manual selection. You can select documents manually, one at a time, by clicking anywhere in the document row. To clear a document, click the check box at the left of the document name.

Select All, Clear All. Click to aid in selection. For example, if you select documents, you can click Clear All and then select again manually or by criteria.

Show: All, Selected, Restorable. Choose to view all the documents in the project, or only the selected documents. Restorable is available only for the Restore task.
