Archive
The Archive object is used to store permanent versions of data for a long period of time.
How it is used
Use the Archive object to archive files that you need to keep for a certain period of time for legal reasons, eliminating the need to keep them on your desktop computer.
Configuration
To configure the Archive object, you need to know the TSM policy domain and node that you want to archive from, and the names of the files and folders that you want to archive.

Policy domain
Click the ellipsis button (...) and browse for the name of the TSM policy domain that you want to archive from.
Node
Click the ellipsis button (...) and browse for the name of the node within the TSM policy domain that you want to archive from.

Archive
Click the Add button and type the name of the file or folder that you want to include in the archive. Click OK and repeat for each file or folder that you want to include in the archive.
Note: You must specify each folder and file that you want to include in the archive. For example, if you specify the name of a folder, it will not automatically include the files in that folder; you must specify the folder name and the files within that folder to include them in the archive. You may use wildcards such as * and ?.
Include subdirectories
Check to include sub-directories of the folder that you specify when you add a folder to the archive.
