What is Archiving?
The archive f eature allo ws moving mes sage
logs out of t he main database (to improve
performance), or re -importing them for use

Read Me: Archiving or purging on a regular basis is
highly recommended since the system can become
slow and/or unstable if database files become very
large.
Note
: Archiving pertains to activity messages and/or
panel communications and database-update logs (from
all defined accounts). V4.1x software also supports /
converts v4.0x archives as well.

future repo rts, use the purge featur e instead (to
follow).
