Managing the Archive System
An archive is a file system located on a separate archive server. You use
archives to store revisions of your local files and related information,
including file revision history, descriptive text, and control attributes.
You can establish a relationship between archive files and directories
and your local system by creating mappings. (See “Creating a Mapping
between an Archive Directory and Local Directory” on page 98 for more
information.)
Browsing Local Network Servers and Archives
SoftBench CM lets you access archives on multiple servers from your
local network.
To browse a server and its associated archive:
1. Choose "Actions: Show Local Server Information…".
The "Local Server Information" dialog box displays the Host
Name for each archive directory that is set up on your local network
(see Figure 3-2).
