Archive Manager
Functions:
This Tab assists the user with the creation, retrieval and management of backup files. The Archive Manager contains 4 basic functions: Backup, Restore,
Purge and Exit.
Backup Function/Button: Enables the user to create copies of all information contained within the databases. The function when activated will auto-
matically compress all active (in use) databases, will copy these to the selected drive (A or C:) and will assign a number to the created file. This number is
composed by the time span expressed in dates (FROM yy_mm_dd_TO_yy_mm_dd) of the data to be stored.
Restore Function/Button: Enables the user to retrieve historical data. Data can only be polled or viewed by the system itself; it is protected by a secret
password and cannot be decompressed through outside sources. The restore function, when activated by a mouse click will popup a screen presenting
the user with a list of all backups. The user can select the file to be restored by a double click or single click on the desired file and a click on OK. Path of
files to retrieve is: Program Files\Dicklin\Ares III\datos206\Backup. You will be able to restore the selected backup file temporarily to review old data,
or permanently to make this file become your permanent database.
Please always make a backup of your actual data before you restore anything.
Purge: The purge function is practically a system reset operation. When activated it will automatically create a backup of all data and will reset the Re-
cordings folder (Tab) to 0 recordings. This function will purge your system of excessive amounts of non-necessary old data and will allow your PC to work
much faster. It will also allow you to choose the date ranges for the purge. Data contained in all other data Tabs will remain in place. Path to retrieve file
is: Program Files\Dicklin\Ares III\Program Files\datos205\Close.
