A brief description to help you identify the archive operation.
Devices
Lists the devices selected for the operation. Using the checkboxes, select or deselect the devices you
want to archive. To edit this device list, click Edit Devices.
Schedule
Frequency
Use the drop−down list to select the frequency with which you want the archive performed: Never,
Now, Once, Daily, Weekly, or On Server Startup. The Never option lets you create an archive
operation without actually performing it. The Now option lets you perform an immediate archive.
Select Starting Day
Use the drop−down list to select the month you want the archive to start. A calendar corresponding to
the selected month is displayed. Select the desired starting day by clicking on the calendar. You can
use the arrows on either side of the drop−down list to change the month, and change the year by
entering a new year in the text field.

selected the Never or Now frequency.)

The archive will be performed simultaneously on the number of devices specified in the Groups of
field. Enter the value 1 to have the operation performed serially, one device after another.

an archive operation on multiple devices and you want the operation to stop after a failure on a single
device.
Archive Setup

Specify the maximum number of versions you would like saved for this archive. This allows you to
limit the number of versions saved for each archive. Once the maximum number is reached, older

saved versions, older versions over the maximum number will be automatically deleted the next time
the archive is performed.
Archive Type
Select the appropriate checkbox for the type of data you wish to archive:
Archive Configuration Data − Create archives (backup copies) of your devices'
configurations that can be restored to the devices at a later date, if needed.
