## How to Move a File to a Backup Vault

| ### What to do:
| This function transfers files from a specified vault to a backup vault. A system administrator may later archive the contents of the back vault by means of a tape or other storage media using operating system functions.
| Select Manager > File Management > Files. The FMS-Files mask is opened.
| Select the file to be moved to the backup area.
| Select Backup from the context menu.
| Select a vault.
| Agile e6 does not permit copying files from secondary media (such as tape drives). Files must be imported from devices that feature a file system (e.g. CD-ROM drives). Backup files must be transferred to backup vaults (vault type must be "BCK"). The vault type ("FMS", "PUB", "EIF", etc.) of the source area and the target area must be identical. Exported files (vault type "EXT") and files in a backup vault (vault type "BCK") cannot be archived with this function. Files can only be stored once in a vault. Consecutive backup operations of a file to a vault will overwrite the original backup file.
