Luminex xPONENT 4.2 for FLEXMAP - Manual (Page 141)

The Archive Utility can be used within xPONENT to set up frequency and type of files to
back up. Statistics about disk space and archive space used, as well as the types of files to
backup, appear on this page.
The archive utility runs continuously. If automatic archives are scheduled, they occur whether
xPONENT
® is running or not.
When you want to backup or restore xPONENT, quit the application and run the Archive
Utility from the Start menu.
The Archive Utility includes the following elements:
• Schedule Overview - Use the selections in this box to schedule archiving.
• First Occurrence - Use this to select the date and time for the first automatic archive.
• Frequency - Use this to establish how frequently the system performs the archive
process.
• Reminder Only - Use this to establish whether you want a regular reminder from the
system so that you can perform archiving manually.
• To Be Archived - Use these choices to establish which files are archived.
• Archive Folder - Use this to select the folder in which files are archived. If the output
folder is on a network share and the share becomes unavailable, the system archives
locally and sends you a note where the archived files are.
• Archive Events - This lists all events related to archiving activity, including Date, Log
Type (Reminder, Warning, or Information), and Message.
• System - This displays how many files of each type are currently in xPONENT: Batches,
Protocols, Kits, Lots, LIS Records. It also shows, in the form of pie charts, how much local
disk space, database space, and local archive space is in use.
• System Backup - Click this to back up your system. It requires a log in and then instructs
you to shutdown the xPONENT ® software and launch the Archive Utility from the Start
menu.
