About Archiving

Archiving is the process of copying a file from a file system to one of the following:

When using SAM-QFS, you can specify that files be archived immediately, specify that files never be archived, and perform other tasks.

The term archive media refers to the various cartridges or disk slices to which archive volumes are written. This section provides general guidelines for developing the archive policies for your site and describes the archiver's theory of operations. See Chapter 10, Configuring the Archiver for details about how to configure the archiver.
